About the Film

In the aftermath of her tumultuous relationship with a charismatic and manipulative man, Julie begins to untangle her fraught love for him in making her graduation film, sorting fact from his elaborately constructed fiction. The process of creating her graduation film will mark a healing and maturing phase for Julie, in finding her own identity and the story she is going to tell.
Joanna Hogg’s shimmering story of first love and a young woman’s formative years, based on her own early life, 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. An instant classic, the film was named Best Film of 2021 in a survey by the prestigious film publication Sight and Sound.
