Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir Part II continues Julie's coming‑of‑age as a filmmaker, years after her first heartbreak, turning memory into cinema. The film follows Julie as she processes romance, loss, and the price of art while revisiting a fraught relationship, a mentor figure, and a delicate family portrait through a restrained, impressionistic lens. With hushed dialogue, intimate pacing, and luminous performances, it becomes a quietly devastating meditation on memory and art.
