Hiroshima Mon Amour

Screening on Film

Directed by Alain Resnais.
With Emmanuelle Riva, Eiji Okada.
France/Japan, 1959, 35mm, black & white, 91 min.
French with English subtitles.

Resnais’s first feature film is greatly indebted to Marguerite Duras’s screenplay and is considered one of the finest films of the early French New Wave. Using a radically novel approach to expressing temporality through associative cuts that bridge past and present, Resnais presents the subjective point of view of a French woman in love with a Japanese man who is haunted by a past love and remembrances of the war.
