The Big Picture

No line says it drew on another film or person.

What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

The Eternal Daughter: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. people (same director): The Souvenir ⇒ The Eternal Daughter (the host's read). Amanda says the character is named Julian, linking it to Hogg's Souvenir project as a coda.
    “this is a part of her souvenir, I guess, trilogy now, or like the project.”

Connected to

Honor Swinton Byrne: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (performance): The Souvenir → Honor Swinton Byrne. Her lack of preparation and late casting is part of what makes the performance seem unperformed.
    “It is part of what makes the performance amazing is that there, there is no performance”
    The Big Picture · The Future of ‘Star Wars,’ Marvel, Pixar, and Disney’s Movie Monopoly. Plus: Our Summer Movie Awards and Paul Downs Colaizzo on ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ | The Big Picture · 0:27:12 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)

Less Than Zero: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (tone comparison): The Souvenir → Less Than Zero. The Souvenir is a John Hughes movie sucked of all color, only the pain side of coming of age, like Less Than Zero.
    “It's like a John Hughes movie sucked of all the color or something.”
    The Big Picture · Our Alternative Academy Awards | The Oscars Show · 1:32:38 · Wesley Morris (0.40 sure it was them)

Rebecca Mead: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (source article): The Souvenir → Rebecca Mead. A New Yorker piece by Rebecca Mead explains Swinton Byrne was cast two weeks before filming.
    “I couldn't believe that she was cast 2 weeks before they started filming.”
    The Big Picture · The Future of ‘Star Wars,’ Marvel, Pixar, and Disney’s Movie Monopoly. Plus: Our Summer Movie Awards and Paul Downs Colaizzo on ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ | The Big Picture · 0:26:54 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)

The Eternal Daughter: 1 line people ×1

The Farewell: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (year-end rivalry): The Farewell → The Souvenir. Griffin flips between The Farewell and The Souvenir for movie of the year.
    “I keep flipping between it and the souvenir.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind with Lulu Wang · 1:15:15 · Griffin Newman (0.55 sure it was them)

Tom Burke: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): Tom Burke → The Souvenir. Burke is a supporting winner; calling him lead would be almost sexist given the film's design as a duet.
    “it is almost sexist for me to call him the lead in that movie.”

  1. what-if (what-if): The Souvenir → The Souvenir. Ben: remake with puppets, marionettes, commedia dell'arte feel.
