Hiroshima Mon Amour
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> DVDs & Videos
Digitally remastered from restored print. Black and white, and spoken in French with English subtitles. Now considered a cornerstone of the French cinema, Alain Resnais' first feature has made a powerful impact on cinema audiences since its release in 1959 and has influenced a generation of film makers. The film is set in post war Hiroshima where Elle, a French actress, in the city to make a film, and Lui, a Japanese architect, have embarked on a torrid affair, although both are married to others. Their mutual fascination compels them to reflect on the painful history of the city, and the tragedy and humiliation that befell Elle after a disastrous affair with a German soldier in her home town in wartime France. Cleverly using silent flashback and actual documentary footage, Resnais deftly draws their past experiences together as one in the lovers' minds. Coupled with novelist Marguerite Duras' (Oscar nominated) screenplay, Hiroshima Mon Amour is a truly amazing debut. Disc and case in very good condition. The rear of the case has a small scratch.
