screenplay by Marguerite Duras
Resnais’ stunningly beautiful debut feature stars Emmanuelle Riva as “Nevers” and Eiji Okada as “Hiroshima”. Jean-Luc Godard and Éric Rohmer were impressed. As was I, 66 years later.
A “fun fact” I’ve just read in Wikipedia: at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival this film “was excluded from the official selection because of its sensitive subject matter of nuclear bombs and to avoid upsetting the U.S. government”.
Hiroshima, mon amour was screened as a part of the cycle Tiempo de memoria, memoria en el tiempo.
