HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR (ANALYSIS)
Document audiovisuel
The 2014 edition of 'Rendez-vous with French Cinema' paid tribute to the late and great Alain Resnais, a director of unmatched distinction and elegance, whose works awed and amazed, or shocked and unnerved, but never left audiences indifferent. It was the occasion to screen the restored print of his landmark of the French New Wave. The screening was introduced by Ian Christie (Birkbeck, University of London).
A cornerstone film of the French New Wave, Alain Resnais’ multi-award- winning 'Hiroshima mon amour' is one of the most influential films of all time. A French actress and a Japanese architect engage in a brief, intense affair in postwar Hiroshima. Utilising an innovative flashback structure and an Academy Award-nominated screenplay by novelist Marguerite Duras, Resnais delicately weaves past and present, in a modernist masterpiece that defies easy analysis.
