Making its debut at the annual film event in France, Die, My Love is an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel about a new mother who develops postpartum depression and enters psychosis. Directed and written by Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin), the film will be competing for the Palme d'Or.

While Pattinson and his Mickey 17 director Bong Joon Ho recently took part in a video interview with GQ, the actor expressed some level of dismay for having to dance while acting — as he does in Die, My Love.

"It seems to be in almost every movie, there's some moment where they're like, 'Here's the dancing scene.' Except for Mickey," Pattinson said, after Bong asked if he ever danced and sang for a role. "The amount of times and my equivalent of Mickey's life where you're just a living hell every day."

"And it came to the day and I was sweating so much — the insides of my trousers were wet [with sweat]," he added with a laugh. "That's a little exaggeration."

Die, My Love does not have a set release date yet.
