Hiroshima mon amour
Alain Resnais / FR, JP, 1958 / 90 min.
Alain Resnais’ famous classic, based on a screenplay by writer Marguerite Duras. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima serves as the reference point as a couple process their respective war traumas. In this exceptional work past and present merge seamlessly.
Emmanuelle Riva plays a French actress – referred to as ‘Elle’ – who falls in love with a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada), referred to as ‘Lui’. The action is set in post-war Hiroshima as the city is rebuilt with great difficulty, interspersed with footage of the French town of Nevers during WWII.
