The Souvenir
Joanna Hogg
Julie is a shy film student who meets Anthony, a charismatic but troubled man, just as she is finding her voice as an artist. Against her mother’s advice, she allows herself to be drawn into an intense, emotionally fraught relationship that threatens to destroy her dreams. This portrait of a young woman swept up by her first love during her formative years is loosely based on the director’s own experience.
