The Souvenir Part II15

Directed by Joanna Hogg | UK | 2020 | 1h 47m | Starring Honor Swinton Byrne, Tilda Swinton, Richard Ayoade, Jaygann Ayeh

In the aftermath of a tumultuous romance with a charismatic but troubled older man, film student Julie begins to process the relationship while making a film for her graduation project. Fact and fiction overlap in Joanna Hogg’s shimmering story of first love and a young artist’s formative years spent living in 1980s London.

Reviews

‘It’s a beguiling work from a master of her craft that holds the art of filmmaking in its piercing gaze, and speaks to an uncompromising vision of what cinema can be with a little faith and imagination.’
★★★★★
Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

‘This is a story about the importance of making mistakes, of learning, of pulling yourself up and trying again – whether in love, sex, art or friendship.’
★★★★★
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
