An extraordinary film about horrors of war

Hiroshima mon amour (1959) directed by Alain Resnais

Hiroshima Mon Amour is an extraordinary film about time,memory and horrors of war.Resnais has filmed one of the most innovative films in the history of cinema.The actress finds the sensation of her first love and identifies the Japanese architect as the person she loved in the past.Hiroshima Mon Amour was greeted by worldwide appaluse addressed,in particular,to Marguerite Duras who joined forces with Resnais.He asked her to write literature in a way as if she was writing a novel.As she was made to forget the camera,the script consequently had the character of an unending monologue which,at the same time,remained a dialogue with the past.The reality of Hiroshima remains continually marked as it has been shown as a pulsating metropolis where nothing can debilitate people's strength of mind.Sacha Vierny's stark visual images lend credibility to a love affair under difficult circumstances involving two distressed souls.Hiroshima Mon Amour,as a parable of ephemeral passion,will never age with the changing phase of time.
