The Souvenir
Part of the Best of British Strand
Honor Swinton Byrne proves that acting talent runs in the family in this story of Julie, a struggling young filmmaker knocked off her creative path when she falls for the wrong man in a bleak 1980s London. Director Joanna Hogg’s autobiographical feature is a refreshingly honest and beautifully observed tale of a young woman whose search for artistic credibility leaves her dangerously exposed. She is currently shooting a second part to the film. Also starring Tilda Swinton as Julie’s mother and Tom Burke as the wayward Anthony. [15]
The Souvenir is nominated for the 2019 Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature Film.
