The Souvenir
Joanna Hogg / GB, US, 2019 / 120 min.
Filmmaker Joanna Hogg likes to be inspired by renowned film duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. In The Souvenir, for example, love leads into the abyss – a theme to which Powell & Pressburger were no strangers, to use a British understatement.
A shy but ambitious film student (Honor Swinton Byrne) is just starting to find her voice as an artist when she gets into a turbulent relationship with a charismatic, erudite dandy (Tom Burke). She becomes more and more caught up in this intense, emotionally charged relationship that takes on ever more dangerous, self-destructive tendencies.
