When a single mother suffers a nervous breakdown, she is suspected of child abuse and her child is taken away. Her mental suffering escalates as she succumbs to her darkest fantasies.
Die My Love makes perfect company with films like Shinya Tsukamoto’s Kotoko (2011), The Piano Teacher (dir. Michael Haneke, 2002), Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (dir. John D. Hancock, 1971), and other portrayals of “hysterical” women.
…as well as a lesser-known Japanese psychological horror film called Kotoko, which also tries to show you mental illness by locking you into the protagonist’s point of view.
