Alain Resnais‘ Hiroshima Mon Amour tells of memory and love, death and oblivion.
The fleeting relationship between two lovers is the pretext for an intimate confrontation with the events of the war, imaginary double exposures gradually merging to present experience, filtering out the emotional storm of the immense historical tragedy with the strong literary component of the dialogues (screenplay by Marguerite Duras), a catharsis of bodies and consciences.
