About This Book
An extraordinary and deeply moving film that retains much of its power since its
original release in 1959, Alain Resnais's Hiroshima, Mon Amour is the story of a
French woman (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese man (Eiji Okada) who become lovers
in the city of Hiroshima, where the U.S. dropped a nuclear bomb to end World War
II in the Pacific. Written by Marguerite Duras and juggled, as if by wandering
thoughts, in chronology and setting by Resnais, the film reveals the miserable
and mortifying experiences of each character during the war and suggests the
obvious healing properties of their relationship in the present. An emotional
allusion or two can certainly be made with the more recent The English Patient,
but nothing can quite prepare one for Resnais's extreme yet intuitively
accessible experiments in fusing the past, present, and future into great sweeps
of subjectively experienced memory. Yet audiences have never had trouble
relating to this bold milestone of the French New Wave, largely because at its
heart is a genuinely affecting, soulful love story. --Tom Keogh (This text
refers to the film adaptation of this novel.)
