Hiroshima Mon Amour Screening

An echo between the transience of love and the permanence of trauma: Hiroshima Mon Amour on the cinema, presented by Othon!

One of cinema’s most profound representations of love, Hiroshima Mon Amour goes far beyond being a simple love story. With Alain Resnais’s masterful modernist direction—blending documentary and fiction and the poetic screenplay by one of history’s most singular voices, Marguerite Duras, the film stands as a masterpiece on the impossibility of remembering and forgetting.

Set in Hiroshima, a city still bearing the scars of the atomic bomb, the film centers on a brief encounter between an unnamed French woman and a Japanese man. This encounter brings suppressed memories of the past to the surface: a former love, a youth overshadowed by war, and a space of memory where personal pain intersects with collective destruction. The film fractures linear time; memories collide with the present, images clash with words.
