It was a star-studded soirée in Cannes last night as The Hollywood Reporter, with Longines, hosted the official afterparty of Lynne Ramsay thriller Die, My Love.
Robert Pattinson arrived straight from the Palais premiere — where the film was recipient of a warm, six-minute standing ovation — and LaKeith Stanfield came soon after, breaking out some dance moves as carpet photos were taken. Jennifer Lawrence joined later in the evening on the arm of Longines CEO Matthias Breschan.
Among other arrivals was Eddington star Joaquin Phoenix and wife Rooney Mara, who together blocked Pedro Pascal, also in Ari Aster’s pandemic-era film, from snapping any photos. Dakota Johnson, set to feature in Celine Song’s hotly-anticipated Materialists this coming summer, as well as “brat” queen Charli XCX and German actor Matthias Schweighöfer also joined to celebrate Ramsay’s new movie. Ali Abbasi, director of last year’s Cannes picture The Apprentice with Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, was in attendance in a Riviera-appropriate, slick cream suit.

Another brilliant event by the incomparable Danielle Pelland, Oscar winner and beloved U.S. actress Sissy Spacek (Pattinson’s onscreen mother in Die, My Love) closed down the party,
Circulating at the trendy Cannes hotspot Salama was Bordeaux and Côtes-d’Auvergne-imported pinot noir and pinot blanc alongside platters of sushi, falafel and sliders before moorish mini desserts including chocolate fondants, cream and fresh fruit skewers. Attendees were welcome to try the themed cocktails, including a “Die, My Darling” with tequila, cointreau and fresh lime juice, “Feral Bloom” with Grey Goose Vodka, vanilla liquor and espresso, or “Love Is a Wound” comprised of Aperol, Prosecco and Perrier.

Upon entrance on Cannes’ Rue Florian were a host of private parties that served as a quasi-runway for THR and Longine’s event. A saxophone player weaved through the crowds and, in true Cannes party fashion, a man with a flute stood atop a building and played to a bouncing audience below. At Salama, moody lighting followed through from the terrace through to the bar and dance floor, and further ahead were tables for each cast member to drink and mingle.
There were a few murmurs about the bird costume on the film’s red carpet — and debates over whether it was a turkey or, indeed, a condor — but the mystery was dispelled when organizers confirmed the bird man was a character from Raphael Quenard Cannes Classics documentary I Love Peru. The festival’s synopsis of the doc reads: “Going through a difficult period, Raphaël Quenard abandons everyone around him and, struck by a disturbing vision, flies to Peru. In this spiritual quest, he is accompanied by his friend Hugo David.”

Ezra Miller, a collaborator of Ramsay’s from their time on We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011), was seen speeding down the red carpet for the film’s premiere earlier in the evening, reportedly in support of the filmmaker. Though the actor, sporting with a beret and long hair at the premiere, was nowhere to be seen at THR‘s afterparty.
