The Souvenir
Directed by Joanna Hogg2h 0m2019
A shy but ambitious film student falls into an intense, emotionally fraught relationship with a charismatic but untrustworthy older man.
Our read: The Souvenir (2019) reads as a sombre, slow-burn, grounded drama · romance entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama / romance, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
