Short description

In the aftermath of her tumultuous relationship with a charismatic and manipulative older man, Julie begins to untangle her fraught love for him in making her graduation film, sorting fact from his elaborately constructed fiction.

What's left behind the scenes

Joanna Hogg wrote the screenplay based on her own experience attending film school in London in the early 1980s. She and actress Tilda Swinton had been friends since childhood, and Swinton witnessed Hogg’s relationships with men during those years firsthand. Tilda Swinton, then still unknown, starred in Hogg’s graduation film, “Caprice”.
Joanna Hogg had already cast Tilda Swinton and Tom Burke in *The Souvenir* (2018), but couldn’t find an actress for the role of Julia. The problem was solved just weeks before filming began. When she met with Swinton to discuss the future role, Swinton’s daughter, Honor Swinton-Byrne, happened to be nearby, and Hogg suddenly saw Julia in her. Hogg had known Honor Swinton-Byrne for a long time, as she had been friends with Swinton, but also knew that she had never acted before, so the thought of casting her as Julia hadn’t occurred to her.
