    The male protagonist is very annoying at first sight, but this does not affect the boring and pretentious dullness of this...

    A film school student has a hard time balancing film and love, and the tangle and struggle of this trade-off runs through. The classicism of the images complements the independent and romantic temperament of women. The film slowly unfolds the flashback structure of reminiscence, forming a slow and gentle narrative rhythm. The obsession in academics and the persistence in love are intertwined, and there is a complete process of emotional progression. Those things that can be repeatedly mentioned...

    Putting the classic British 18th century positive/negative romanticism in the present, embracing love in a state of weightlessness floating upwards (the weather in London is the gloomy melancholy), and her role as a film director keeps her pulling away. The pain of reason goes back to the source of artistic creation. The camera’s head-up view and the editing shocks create an unnoticeable sense of dislocation. Sometimes you feel that the heroine has surrendered herself frankly, and sometimes you...

    Failed play: the characters don't stand up, don't know why the two are in love, and julie's subjective position. Before establishing the empathy with the protagonist at the beginning, the constant discussion of self-couscousness can only make people feel uncomfortable: they are interested in the literary youth struggling with "self". The conversations that are added can only serve as moments that interrupt the narrative and allow the audience to jump out, but there is no narrative other than...

    It is destined to be a film that will not be accepted by the public. It was obvious that the audience either liked it very much, or half-awake, snorted, or simply walked away - this is the state of the weekend afternoon show. The film is so fragmented that it can be said that there is no story to tell. The core is actually very simple, restore a toxic love. To be honest, some clips and narrations are still quite interesting. It is recommended to drink some medicine or drink some coffee before...

    What she sees is sadness, what he sees is determination; the muddy emotional relationship and the self trapped in it, and the identity facing the creative dilemma, are constantly wrestling with each other. In the midst of reality and reality, these choices and experiences are pushed to another place; through various faces and acquisitions, a more delicate role study is established. In addition to the story, what is more pleasing is the finished product with "vintage texture" - careful and...

    65/100, exquisite indoor drama, large-grained images and space setting are full of retro flavor. The concise text becomes dense under the influence of the loose structure. The heavy identity of the protagonist's film student adds a layer of fascination to the film, but it is still not very interesting, and it is really too...

The Souvenir quotes

  • Anthony: I can't go into all this. It was an emergency.

    Julie: What fucking emergency?

    Anthony: If I hadn't done that on that day, I wouldn't be here now. I... That's all I can tell you.

    Julie: What's that supposed to mean? You can't say stuff like that and then not... I don't.. I appreciate there are some things you can't tell me.

    Anthony: Well, uh, you know, I appreciate there's things about me that you find unacceptable. There's things about you I find unacceptable. There's things about this conversation I find unacceptable. We're gonna have to meet somewhere.

  • [at a dinner party; Anthony has left the table]

    Patrick: You don't seem druggy to me.

    Julie: [smiling] No, I'm not, no, I'm not.

    Patrick: Interesting. So I'm trying to work out... where you two tessellate here.

    [Julie is wordless, confused]

    Patrick: I'm not good with euphemism, so...

    Julie: Sorry, I don't understand.

    Patrick: OK, so,

    [gestures to Anthony's vacant seat]

    Patrick: habitual heroin user,

    [gestures to Julie]

    Patrick: trainee Rotarian... which is a good look, I mean it nicely. How, what, why, when... ?

    Julie: [quietly stunned] Sorry, I don't...

    Patrick: You don't even dabble?

    Julie: No.

    Patrick: Okay. I mean, I don't, I feel it's very mainstream behavior. I've said to him, it's mainstream. I actually think, you know... I mean, it was fine in the '40s, but...

    [Julie is still speechless as Anthony returns]
