Grand Jury Prize Sundance 2019

The latest film from multi-award winning writer/director Joanna Hogg

 

Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) is a young film student struggling to find a firm direction in life
when she meets the seemingly unwavering and decisive Anthony (Tom Burke). The two
immediately take to one another and an intense romance blossoms between them.
However, as the relationship develops it becomes clear that Anthony is not being honest
about all aspects of himself and Julie slowly discovers that they could have potentially
devastating consequences for them both.

One of Britain’s most unique filmmakers Joanna Hogg (Archipelago, Unrelated) presents a
deeply personal examination of her own youthful experiences in this beautifully crafted,
Martin Scorsese produced portrait of self-discovery, The Souvenir.
