"Hiroshima Love" mainly tells about an extramarital affair between French actress Neville and Japanese architect Hiroshima in Hiroshima after the war, and this relationship reminds Neville that she was eighteen when she was in France with a German soldier. Will's love tragedy.

But the whole film conveys the emotions of pain, struggle, and confusion. The "three-line" structure interlaced in time and space shows the pictures of the past after the nuclear explosion, the love story of the French girl and the German soldier in the past, and the current story of the French girl and the Japanese man. The characters' hearts are projected in the way of memory, imagination and monologue, and the whole film is organized with emotion.

The two of them are not destined to be together. The Japanese man is actually Hiroshima, and the French actress is Neville. What the movie shows us through the "three lines" is the pain and disaster brought by war, and the thinking about war. , not just the feelings of Neville and Hiroshima.

    She called him Hiroshima, he called her Naville, they didn't know each other's names. Her soul is overflowing with the pain of war lingering in her body, and behind her every move is a bottomless abyss. Their encounter had nothing to do with love, but a brief and painful oblivion of war and an irreparable past. Everywhere in the world where the war survived, there are such scars left. Literary breath, a sad prose poem.

    90/100, the authored images of Alain Resnais and Duras, achieve the ultimate balance of literary and cinematic. The broken narrative, the ambiguous time and space, and the magnification of the deep spirit create this infinite beauty. //09.21 #2019Shanyi Women's Film Festival# Rewatching on the big screen is still touched by the blurred atmosphere and vague ravings of the film. Extremely literary texts are indeed a challenge, but Aaron Resnais' series of urban gazes give the film a spirit: it is the love of forgotten memories, as well as the love of the city.

Hiroshima Mon Amour quotes

  • Lui: You were bored in a way that makes a man want to know a woman

  • Elle: Four times at the museum in Hiroshima. I saw people walking around. People walking, thoughtful, past the photographs and reconstructions, for lack of anything else. Photographs, photographs and reconstructions, for lack of anything else. Explanations, for lack of anything else. Four times at the museum in Hiroshima. I looked at the people. I myself looked, thoughtfully, at the iron. Iron, burned and twisted. Iron made vulnerable as flesh. I saw the bouquet of bottle tops. Who could imagine such a thing? Human skin, floating, surviving, still in the bloom of agony. And stones. Burned stones, shattered stones. Anonymous locks of hair, that Hiroshima's women, when they awoke, discovered had fallen out.
