Description
One of the most influential works in the history of cinema, Alain Renais's Hiroshima Mon Amour received international acclaim upon its release in 1959 and was awarded the International Critics' Prize at the Cannes Film festival as well as the New York Film Critics' Award. Ostensibly the story of a love affair between a Japanese architect and a French actress visiting Japan to make a film on peace, Hiroshima Mon Amour is a stunning exploration of the influence of war on both Japanese and French culture and the conflict between love and humanity.
