Hiroshima. Mon Amour New Edition

The all-too-beautiful and fleeting twenty-four hours of two people resisting oblivion. Alain Resnais's greatest masterpiece, set in Hiroshima shortly after the end of the war, re-released in a 4K restored version! Alain Resnais, the French master who recorded the truth of the Auschwitz concentration camp in "Night and Fog" and shocked many people, depicts a story of war memory and love set in Hiroshima just after the end of the war. In the midst of a single summer's love affair, the war wounds that Hiroshima bears and the maddening memory of a first love -- having once fallen in love with a German soldier in Nevers, France -- intersect. "I saw Hiroshima." "You saw nothing in Hiroshima." -- The poetic, beautiful lines exchanged amid despair are vividly projected through unique editing. A French actress who comes to Hiroshima for a film shoot meets a Japanese architect. Knowing that she cannot know everything about the other, the two keep talking about Hiroshima and about each other's pasts, moving from place to place -- a hotel, the man's house, a coffee shop. And the man reveals that he lost his family to the atomic bomb, and the woman reveals that she was persecuted, blamed for her romantic relationship with a Nazi soldier. In a one-day encounter, the two revive, through a long, long dialogue, the vivid war memories that lay deep within each of them. Includes a work commentary booklet.
