With roughly 10,000 films (give or take) showing at your average Sundance Film Festival, it’s hard to truly rise above the noise, much less make yourself valuable to buyers. And yet writer/director Joanna Hogg‘s The Souvenir arrived this year with A24 handling distribution and a sequel already in the works, but still managed to pick up near-unanimous critical acclaim and the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema along the way. Now we, the plebeians without a Sundance pass, can get a glimpse of the much-buzzed-about drama, thanks to a new trailer released today.

The film marks just the second on-screen role for Honor Swinton-Byrne—daughter of Tilda Swinton, who also stars—who portrays Julie, a stand-in for Hogg in a film that intimately explores the filmmaker’s past experiences. Tom Burke (Only God Forgives) and Richard Ayoade (Paddington 2) also star.


The film is written and directed by Joanna Hogg.
