Hiroshima Mon Amour
Classic by Alain Resnais about a French actress who gets into a brief relationship with a Japanese architect in Hiroshima, based on a screenplay by Marguerite Duras.
A cornerstone of the French New Wave, the first feature film from Alain Resnais is one of the most influential films of all time. A French actress and a Japanese architect engage in a brief, intense affair in post-war Hiroshima, their consuming mutual fascination impelling them to exorcise their own scarred memories of love and suffering. With an innovative flashback structure and an Academy Award-nominated screenplay by novelist Marguerite Duras, HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR is a moody masterwork that delicately weaves past and present, personal pain and public anguish.
