In this edition of Screen’s Cannes Close-Up interview series, Scottish producer Andrea Calderwood discusses the thrill of coming back to the festival with Lynne Ramsay 26 years after Ratcatcher and how Martin Scorsese got the ball rolling on Die, My Love.
To be back in Cannes this year “is particularly meaningful” for Calderwood as she celebrates Ramsay’s “filmmaker journey” and honours the late Ruth McCane, an executive producer and frequent collaborator.
Die, My Love, screening in Competition, stars Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, LaKeith Stanfield, and Nick Nolte and is an adaptation of the eponymous novel by the Argentinian author Ariana Harwicz.
In the interview, Calderwood talks about her experience coming to the festival over the years, from the celebrity chats that you can only overhear in Cannes to coming just two weeks after giving birth in 2002.
