Kristen Stewart\u2019s The Chronology of Water<\/i> unveiled in Cannes and Deauville<\/h2><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since her breakthrough in <\/span>Twilight<\/i><\/strong> in 2007, Kristen Stewart<\/strong> has consistently moved away from the silent and withdrawn character of Bella Swan she once embodied next to her ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson<\/strong><\/a>. At 35, she has become highly selective in her career, claiming she has only made five truly great films to date.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After starring in features films by Woody Allen, Ang Lee, David Cronenberg<\/strong>, Kelly Reichardt, and Olivier Assayas<\/strong> (<\/span>Personal Shopper<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Clouds of Sils Maria<\/span><\/i>), the American actress is now getting behind the camera with her debut film <\/span>The Chronology of Water <\/i><\/strong>(2025).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film was eight years in the making and premiered in May 2025 at the Cannes Film Festival<\/strong><\/a> in the category \u201cUn Certain Regard\u201d. Kristen Stewart<\/a><\/strong> then traveled to the Deauville American Film Festival<\/strong> in September 2025 to present it. There, her raw, viscous and extreme feature won the Revelation Prize and revealed her genuine directorial talent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film adaptation of a coarse novel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With this film, the <\/span>Love Lies Bleeding<\/i><\/strong> actress takes a bold new step in her career. Kristen Stewart<\/strong> chose to adapt the memoir <\/span>The Chronology of Water<\/i><\/strong> written by American author Lidia Yuknavitch<\/span>. Speaking to <\/span>Deadline<\/span><\/i>, the Spencer<\/em><\/strong> star, who had the backing of Ridley Scott\u2019s production company Scott Free<\/strong>, said: \u201cLidia\u2019s memoir speaks of bodily experiences in a radical way. Capturing that on screen, conveying that impulse feels essential to me… This absolutely has to be a film<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The striking and brutally honest novel, published in 2011, recounts the life of its author. The latter grew up in a troubled household. Her father abused both her and her sister, while their alcoholic mother turned a blind eye. Addicted to drugs and alcohol, the young woman eventually makes it to university thanks to her swimming talent. She ultimately finds refuge in literature and writing.
