Lawrence, Pattinson Recount Nude Dance Rehearsal in ‘Die, My Love’ Promotion

The postpartum drama from Lynne Ramsay earned standing ovations at Cannes.

Overview

  • Jennifer Lawrence told The Graham Norton Show that Ramsay had the leads take interpretive dance classes and then asked them to perform the sequence nude on the first day of filming, which she described as completely humiliating.
  • Robert Pattinson said in GQ that being told to “just dance” was overwhelming and that he warned he would have a nervous breakdown unless the movement was choreographed or dropped.
  • Lawrence said the dance sequence remained in the final cut of the film.
  • The film centers on a couple after childbirth, with the mother’s postpartum depression and psychosis driving the story, and Lawrence also serves as a producer.
  • Promotion included a high-profile London premiere, where Lawrence’s red-carpet appearance drew coverage.
