The Souvenir: Joanna Hogg & Tom Burke Interview

The Souvenir: Joanna Hogg & Tom Burke Interview

Many films go into their Sundance world premieres with no distribution. Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir, on the other hand, debuted at the festival with A24 having bought the North American rights to the film and also knowing that the sequel will go into production this summer. The Souvenir marks the very first lead role for Tilda Swinton's daughter, Honor Swinton-Byrne. She plays Julie, a young woman enrolled in film school who doesn't quite know who she is yet, who crosses paths with a mysterious man named Anthony, played by Tom Burke. Julie falls so hard for Anthony that before she knows it, she's detached from her friends, lets Anthony borrow money whenever he pleases, and is essentially doing everything she can to serve his needs - even if it's at her own expense.

During the Sundance Film Festival, Hogg and Burke took some time to swing by the Collider Studio to talk about their experience making the film. They dove into the semi-autobiographic nature of the story, what it was like for Burke to play someone so arrogant and manipulative, the process of casting Swinton-Byrne as Julie, what the Sundance debut meant for the Souvenir sequel, and so much more. You can hear about it all in this video interview.
