SOUVENIR
Liliane (Isabelle Huppert) lives a modest and monotonous life. By day, she works in a pâté factory, and by night, she sits on the couch and watches TV. One day, a new worker named Jean (Kévin Azaïs) arrives. The two form a platonic relationship, but Jean grows increasingly convinced that he recognizes Liliane from a European singing contest he saw as a child. Eventually, Jean convinces Liliane to confront her past. Souvenir is a beautiful portrayal of a friendship between two people from different generations, who come together to make a life changing comeback.
“A poignant Huppert performance!”
– The Hollywood Reporter
“Enchanting”
– Gary Kramer, Philadelphia Gay News
“A delicately heart-tugging performance”
– Charles Gant, ScreenDaily
“No matter your taste in music… you can’t help but sing along to Liliane’s comeback anthem, an ode to a pretty young man. You won’t be able to get the song out of your head.”
– Kent Turner, Film-Forward
