Souvenir (2018)

Sadly, we have had to wait for this movie since 2016, when it first played on the festival circuit, but now here Souvenir is in the U.S. in 2018 and I am taken by it. Souvenir is a completely charming little fairy tale about an older woman and a younger man. It takes place in its own little world and wants nothing more than to stay there. I love Isabelle Huppert, obviously, and totally fell for Kévin Azaïs, too.
I thought this movie was adorable, and even, perhaps, more emotionally and intellectually affecting for its insularity and lack of desire to mean something serious.
