It’s about life and art, inspiration and process, growing and becoming. The latest from the British filmmaker Joanna Hogg, “Souvenir Part II” is a portrait of a young artist. As she walks among her mirrored reflections, she also seems to be passing her many different selves - the dutiful daughter, the drifting student, the bereft survivor - now all in service to her role as an artist. After struggling with her grief and her art, she seems on the cusp of a creative breakthrough: She’s made her graduate movie and her mother, father and friends are there to see it.
