The Souvenir

Elegantly acted, shot, lit and costumed, The Souvenir might look pretty as a picture, but that belies the emotional starkness and darkness within. Co-produced by the UK’s BBC Films, British filmmaker Joanna Hogg captures perfectly the delight and danger of an all-consuming passion, and how it risks self-destruction.
