Description
In Memory of Alain Resnais (1922–2014)New Digital Restoration!
“A cornerstone film of the French New Wave, Alain Resnais’ first feature is one of the most influential films of all time.”—Criterion
In Hiroshima, a French actress (Emmanučle Riva) working on an antiwar film meets a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada). They become lovers but their encounter only revives memories of the war, revealing that the woman is her past, the man, his. Their struggle to come to terms with the idea that life goes on is reflected in images from a collective memory in which the film's pacifist subtheme is skillfully developed. The seamless integration of past and present, the poetic fusion of music to text and of image to the clipped poetry of dialogue, were shared tropes of director Resnais and screenwriter Marguerite Duras.
• Written by Marguerite Duras. Photographed by Sacha Vierny, Michio Takahashi. With Emmanučle Riva, Eiji Okada, Bernard Fresson, Stella Dassas. (90 mins, In French with English subtitles, B&W, DCP, From Rialto Pictures)
