The Souvenir Part II

Reeling in the sudden end of a tumultuous relationship with a charismatic, but manipulative older man, film student Julie uses her graduation film to untangle her fraught love. Through Joanna Hogg’s intimate and semi-autobiographical lens on 1980s Britain, we follow Julie’s journey through fleeting relationships, living with fretful parents, and ultimately her attempt to come to terms with her grief through the singular power of cinema as she writes and directs a film within a film. The eagerly awaited sequel to The Souvenir, this is a graceful, bittersweet and at times humorous portrait of a young, intrepid and hesitantly vulnerable filmmaker.
