Description
Hiroshima mon amour (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]
Directed by: Alain Resnais
Description
A cornerstone of the French New Wave, Hiroshima mon amour is the first feature from Alain Resnais and one of the most influential films of all time. A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) begin a brief, intense affair in postwar Hiroshima, their mutual fascination pushing them to confront their own scarred memories of love, war, and loss.
With its innovative flashback structure and an Academy Awardnominated screenplay by novelist Marguerite Duras, the film delicately weaves past and present, personal pain and public anguish into a moody, haunting masterwork that continues to shape modern cinema.
