171 - The Souvenir

Published: Sept. 18, 2019, 8:32 p.m.

A gentle, somewhat meandering podcast to follow a gentle, somewhat meandering film. Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir talks of artistic development, the vigour of youth, life without money worries, and the complications of love, all through a soft camera and subtle performances. It's a film that refers to and respects art, that remembers the past fondly, and that leads Jos\xe9 to explain the Portuguese concept of saudade. \n\nRecorded on 17th September 2019.
