Joanna Hogg wrote the script based on her real-life experiences while attending film school in London in the early '80s. Tilda Swinton and Hogg have been friends since they were ten years old, and Swinton witnessed Hogg's relationship at the time. All actors read the script except for Honor Swinton Byrne. Director Joanna Hogg gave her instead her diaries from the early '80s, notes, photographs, and old scripts and films she wrote and made at that time. She was told to improvise every scene, while the rest of the cast had scripts but were still told to react to her as well as they could. Hogg also gave Tom Burke old letters, recordings, and drawings from the man his character is based on.
Honor Swinton Byrne is the real-life daughter of Tilda Swinton. The Souvenir (2019) and The Souvenir: Part II (2021) are her first film roles after playing the child version of Tilda Swinton's character in I Am Love (2009) 10 years earlier.
The films title 'The Souvenir' is named after an 18th century rococo painting of the same name by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, which features a woman scratching the initials of her lover onto a tree.
In her twenties, Joanna Hogg studied at the National Film and Television School outside of London. Her graduation piece Caprice (1986) starred a then-unknown Tilda Swinton.
Julie's London flat is a perfect replica of the one that director Joanna Hogg lived in at that age. The set was built inside of an airplane hanger, and the city views seen through the windows are 35mm projections of photographs that Hogg took in her twenties.
"Anthony: We don't know what the inner machinations of their mind are, or their heart. We don't know. But that's what we want to know when we go and see a film. We don't wanna just see life played out as is. We wanna see life as it is experienced, within this soft machine, within this... Julie: But the life of Tony and his mother, they're the lives of real people. I'm not- I'm not making that up. Anthony: Why are they more real than me? Julie: They're not more real than you. Anthony: Am I more real than you? Julie: No. I think we're all equal in that. I think we're all as real as each other. There's no competition. It doesn't matter that they're not real people. I mean, I'm not trying to make a documentary. I'm just- you know, I'm making a feature film. Anthony: Now, are you sure? Julie: Yes, I am. I'm making a feature film."
"[at a dinner party; Anthony has left the table] Patrick: You don't seem druggy to me. Julie: [smiling] No, I'm not, no, I'm not. Patrick: Interesting. So I'm trying to work out... where you two tessellate here. [Julie is wordless, confused] Patrick: I'm not good with euphemism, so... Julie: Sorry, I don't understand. Patrick: OK, so, [gestures to Anthony's vacant seat] Patrick: habitual heroin user, [gestures to Julie] Patrick: trainee Rotarian... which is a good look, I mean it nicely. How, what, why, when... ? Julie: [quietly stunned] Sorry, I don't... Patrick: You don't even dabble? Julie: No. Patrick: Okay. I mean, I don't, I feel it's very mainstream behavior. I've said to him, it's mainstream. I actually think, you know... I mean, it was fine in the '40s, but... [Julie is still speechless as Anthony returns]"
