The Cannes premiere of Lynne Ramsay’s thriller, Die, My Love, was nothing short of magical, casting a spell over the South of France. As the clock struck midnight, The Hollywood Reporter and Longines orchestrated an unforgettable afterparty that drew the crème de la crème of Hollywood to the sun-drenched French Riviera.
An Evening of Elegance and Applause
The evening began with Robert Pattinson arriving directly from the Palais premiere, where the audience’s applause lingered even after a heartwarming six-minute ovation. Presenting a sultry enigma in formal attire, Pattinson set the tone for the charismatic night that was to unfold.
