THE SOUVENIR: PART II

Part of Movies We Missed.

In the aftermath of her tumultuous relationship with a charismatic and manipulative older man, Julie begins to untangle her fraught love for him in making her graduation film, sorting fact from his elaborately constructed fiction. Joanna Hogg’s shimmering story of first love and a young woman’s formative years, THE SOUVENIR: PART II is a portrait of the artist that transcends the halting particulars of everyday life — a singular, alchemic mix of memoir and fantasy.

“A beguilingly meta portrait of the artist as a young woman learning to find herself not just in the mirror of others, but in her own hand behind the camera.” ––Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly

“It's a beguiling work from a master of her craft that holds the art of filmmaking in its piercing gaze, and speaks to an uncompromising vision of what cinema can be with a little faith and imagination.” ––Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

“The best kind of sequel, not merely enhancing or deepening its predecessor but also recasting it in a revelatory new light.” ––Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
