Wikipedia article
'Souvenir' is a 1989 British drama film directed by Geoffrey Reeve and starring Christopher Plummer, Catherine Hicks and Michael Lonsdale.[https://web.archive.org/web/20090115093022/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/422165 BFI.org] It was based on the novel 'The Pork Butcher' by David Hughes. Forty years after the Second World War, an ex-German soldier returns as an American to a French village in which atrocities were committed by the Nazis, during which his then French lover was murdered. The film, like the book, is an attempt to attribute and assuage patent and discreet levels of guilt.
