THE SOUVENIR

Director: Joanna Hogg
Cast: Honor Swinton Byrne, Neil Young, Tom Burke, Jack McMullen, Tilda Swinton, Richard Ayoade
A shy but ambitious film student falls into an intense, emotionally fraught relationship with a charismatic but untrustworthy older man.
Joanna Hogg‘s latest film, produced by Martin Scorsese, sees a young film student in the early 80s struggling to find a firm direction in life and becoming romantically involved with a complicated and untrustworthy man.

Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) is a young film student struggling to find a firm direction in life when she meets the seemingly unwavering and decisive Anthony (Tom Burke). The two immediately take to one another and an intense romance blossoms between them. However, as the relationship develops it becomes clear that Anthony is not being honest about all aspects of himself and Julie slowly discovers that they could have potentially devastating consequences for them both.

One of Britain’s most unique filmmakers Joanna Hogg (Archipelago, Unrelated) presents a deeply personal examination of her own youthful experiences in this beautifully crafted portrait of self-discovery, The Souvenir.
