Cannes 2025 expands lineup with 'Die, My Love' and 'Chronology of Water'

Cannes, Apr 24 (UNI) The 78th Cannes Film Festival has unveiled a slate of compelling late additions to its official 2025 selection, enriching an already robust programme with auteur-driven works and star-powered premieres, including Lynne Ramsay's "Die, My Love", and Kristen Stewart's first feature behind the camera, "The Chronology of Water'.
Kristen Stewart's film will premiere in the Un Certain Regard sidebar.
Also joining the roster is Ethan Coen's "Honey Don't!", set to screen in the Midnight Selections, alongside several international entries, broadening the festival's cultural and artistic scope.
Other additions to the official selection are Saeed Roustaee’s “Woman and Child” in competition; Anna Cazenave Cambet’s “Love Me Tender,” Simón Mesa Soto’s “Un Poeta” and Pedro Pinho’s “O Riso E A Faca (Le Rire et le Couteau”) in Un Certain Regard; “Kōji Fukada’s “Renai Saiban,” Hlynur Pálmason’s “Ástin Sem Eftir Er,” Lav Diaz’s “Magalhães” in premiere; and Vincent Maël Cardona’s “Le Roi Soleil” in midnights.
Ramsay's "Die, My Love", adapted from Ariana Harwicz's feverish debut novel, was screened for the selection committee following the festival's official press conference on April 10. The film unfolds in an isolated corner of rural America, chronicling the disintegration of a new mother grappling with obsession, desire and unraveling sanity.
Joining Mascha Schilinski (“Sound of Falling”), Carla Simón (“Romería”), Kelly Reichardt (“The Mastermind”), Hafsia Herzi (“La Petite Dernière”) and Julia Ducournau (“Alpha”), Ramsay will be the seventh woman director whose film will play in competition this year — a record number for the Cannes Film Festival.
Hollywood's influence will be deeply felt throughout the 78th edition. Alongside the key cast of “Die, My Love,” the fest will bring Tom Cruise for the premiere of “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning;” Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest” with star Denzel Washington; Jodie Foster, who stars in Rebecca Zlotowski’s out-of-competition crime comedy “Vie Privée;” Josh O’Connor, who headlines Kelly Reichardt’s heist movie “The Mastermind” and Oliver Hermanus’ romance “The History of Sound”.
The Cannes Film Festival will run from May 13 to 24. UNI XC SSP
