The Souvenir
The past never stays in focus.
Directed by Joanna Hogg
A melancholic, introspective portrait of a young woman's entanglement in a toxic relationship, filtered through memory and the lens of artistic creation.
A shy but ambitious film student falls into an intense, emotionally fraught relationship with a charismatic but untrustworthy older man.
