Martin Scorsese, who is also the producer of this movie, personally chose Jennifer Lawrence to lead DIE MY LOVE after being "amazed" by her performance in ¡Madre! (2017).
Seamus McGarvey confirmed on his instagram in July 2024 that he would be re-uniting with director Lynne Ramsay on this project and it would be shot on 35mm film.
It all began with director Martin Scorsese, who runs a private book club. He recommended that Jennifer Lawrence read the novel Die, My Love (the English title of the original work by Argentine author Ariana Harwicz), telling her that she would be perfect for the role of the mother. Deeply moved by the book and serving as a producer on the film adaptation, Lawrence set out to find the right director for the project. Her choice ultimately fell upon the acclaimed Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay. Together, the two devoted several years to meticulously developing the project.
All the night scenes were shot in daylight, a decision that cinematographer Seamus McGarvey made to reinforce the emotional state the character is going through. It doesn't give you the feeling of real night, but rather a sense of artifice.
