On the eve of a Cannes Film Festival world premiere, it would be understandable, and so easily forgiven, if you encountered the cast, filmmaker and creative collaborators behind a competition entry and found them to be nervous, on edge or maybe a little jittery. Not Lynne Ramsay and her team from Die, My Love.

The emotions radiating on Friday at sunset from the beloved Cannes auteur, her roster of producers and stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Lakeith Stanfield and Sissy Spacek are best described as calm, cool and confident on what proved to be one of those picture perfect evenings on the French Riviera. Even a light mist vanished in time for cocktail hour atop La Terrasse by Albane at the J.W. Marriott during an exclusive filmmaker dinner in honor of Die, My Love sponsored by Longines and presented by The Hollywood Reporter.

Die, My Love? Not so fast.
