Jennifer Lawrence To Receive Honorary Award At ​​San Sebastián


Jennifer Lawrence will be feted at this year’s ​​San Sebastián Film Festival with an honorary Donostia Award for career achievement. 

Lawrence will attend the Spanish festival to accept the award. The actor’s latest flick, Die My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay and co-starring Robert Pattinson, will screen at the festival following the ceremony. 

Set in rural America, Die My Love is a portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness. Grace, a writer and young mother, is slowly slipping into madness. Locked away in an old house in and around Montana, we see her acting increasingly agitated and erratic, leaving her companion, Jackson, increasingly worried and helpless.  LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek also star. 

Ramsay directed Die My Love from her script written with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch. Producers include Justine Ciarrocchi and Lawrence on behalf of Excellent Cadaver, as well as Martin Scorsese, Andrea Calderwood, and Black Label Media’s Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill, and Thad Luckinbill. The latter served as the financier.

Mubi snapped up rights to the pic in a $24 million deal at Cannes. The deal was for a full domestic theatrical commitment on 1,500 screens for 45 days. The territories covered are North America, Latin America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand.

In Deadline’s review out of Cannes, Damon Wise was impressed by Ramsay’s “mesmerizing film,” describing it as a “brutal but beautiful story.” As for many critics, Lawrence proved to be the star of the show. “America knows very well how good Jennifer Lawrence can be,” Wise wrote, “and this could well mean a fifth Oscar nomination if it lands in savvy hands.” Ramsay also came in for particular praise: “It could also be the film that takes Ramsay into the next stage of her career,” he said.

San Sebastian will run from 19-27 September.
