Joanna Hogg’s semi-autobiographical film The Souvenir earned huge plaudits and was a critics’ favourite. Screening in Cannes in the Directors’ Fortnight section, the second part will surely have the sam eeffect and many will question why Hogg wasn’t a shoo-in for the competition.
The second part of this diptych begins with Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) mourning the death of her heroin-addicted control freak boyfriend Anthony (Tom Burke). Everything we see is blanched of colour. It is springtime, but the only flowers we see are white, and the landscapes and buildings all share a faded, pasty quality.
With Anthony literally out of the picture (although not entirely), Hogg focuses her attention on characters who were more peripheral: Julie’s parents really come into their own here and are allowed more screentime as they coddle their daughter while she grieves and coax her back into her life. That very British,...

A beloved ceramic sugar bowl drops from the mantelpiece in “The Souvenir Part II,” and for a few seconds, it’s as if the world itself has shattered and split open. All the air is sucked from the room, replaced with a thick, still silence of devastation, apology and irrational fury. It doesn’t last: It’s just a sugar bowl, after all. Its aggrieved owner Rosalind (Tilda Swinton) briskly tidies up the shards, muttering with crisp English restraint that it doesn’t matter at all, and seems not to mean a word of it. Her daughter Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne), the bowl’s accidental assassin, over-grovels in response, and it’s clear she’s not quite saying what she feels either.
Everything is fine and nothing is right in Joanna Hogg’s film, a dazzling, fragile follow-up to her semi-autobiographical coming-of-age stunner from 2019, which ended on the sudden death...

Tilda Swinton and daughter Honor Swinton Byrne play mother and daughter in writer-director Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir, which took the World Cinema – Dramatic prize at the Sundance Film Festival, where it debuted in January. In fact, the filmmaking team already is readying their follow-up even as the first installment heads to several theaters this weekend via A24. Roadside Attractions took rights to Telluride premiere Trial by Fire last fall. Starring Laura Dern and Jack O’Connell, the title takes on the death penalty, based on a true story. Amazon Studios is heading out with Sundance debut Photograph by Ritesh Batra in over a half-dozen markets, while Magnolia Pictures is going day-and-date with sci-fi title Aniara, which it acquired out of last year’s Toronto. Samuel Goldwyn Films is “counterprogramming” the early-summer blockbuster season with All Creatures Here Below starring Karen Gillan and David Dastmalchian.

The Souvenir has camera angles, shot by David Raedeker, that hide as much as they reveal. The film, executive produced by Martin Scorsese, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, and Lizzie Francke, stars Honor Swinton Byrne in an impressive performance, opposite her real-life mother Tilda Swinton, with Tom Burke (Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives) as Honor's mysterious love interest.

An entirely subjective rundown of the 20+ most-anticipated British films scheduled to have their first public screenings between April 20th and December 31st 2010.
1. Robinson In Ruins (dir. Patrick Keiller)
To call Robinson In Ruins “long awaited” doesn’t quite cover it, given that 13 years have now elapsed since Patrick Keiller’s last release, Robinson In Space(1997). The latter, a quizzically unclassifiable hybrid of political-sociological essay-film and landscape documentary with fictional elements, was perhaps the finest British film of the 1990s.
Like its predecessor London (1994)—also a masterpiece—it featured narration by Paul Scofield. With Scofield now sadly gone to a “better place,” Keiller (who in the interim has been busy with a stack of non-film projects) has turned to Vanessa Redgrave to provide the voiceover for what is apparently a “record of a journey made around southern England in 2008.”
Among his key inspirations, the following quote...
