Joanna Hogg was inteviewed during Sundance and at the end of this interview at around 2.15 she mentions that she always planned to make two films and that The Souvenir: Part II isn’t a sequel in the traditional sense and that he’s glad she didn’t shoot the two films back to back.

In case you haven’t been following on Social media, The Souvenir: Part I has been receiving fabulous reviews.

From Little White Lies:

The spirit of the 1980s is evident both in the soundtrack (Bronski Beat, The Specials and The Psychedelic Furs all feature) and politics of a film that wrestles with notions of class privilege and blossoming female desire, as well as ideas about ‘female art’ and the female artist as perceived by men. A wry wit sparkles throughout, and means that when the heartache eventually comes it does so with real emotional impact.

Most intriguingly of all, it has already been announced that The Souvenir will receive a sequel – Hogg is currently working on the script, and Robert Pattinson is set to co-star with Swinton-Byrne, reprising her role as Julie. It feels as though this film barely scratches the service of its fascinating central character, and and it’s truly exciting to have a filmmaker as honest and articulate as Hogg working today.

I don’t speak French obviously but it looks like High Life was strongly debated on Circles of Canal (France) over the weekend.  There is some new footage from #HighLife featuring Rob and I’ve made gifs from those scenes, but if you don’t want to see spoilers – stop reading now and don’t look below.  If you don’t mind then scroll down to appreciate Rob and if you want to see the debate and footage click on the first gif of Rob below to watch.  Footage is in French.

Arte France has shared an interview with Claire Denis (in French) and some BTS footage from #HighLife:

Alternately in camera with the director, in the sets of the film or in the middle of the film crew, this intimate interview gives a new light to the work of Claire Denis.

She tells us her fears, her questions and the path that led her to make certain artistic choices.
