Hiroshima mon amour is an acclaimed 1959 drama film directed by French film director Alain Resnais, with a screenplay by Marguerite Duras. It is the documentation of an intensely personal conversation between a French-Japanese couple about memory and forgetfulness. It was a major catalyst for the Nouvelle Vague (French New Wave), making highly innovative use of miniature flashbacks to create a uniquely nonlinear storyline.

Year : 1959

Duration : 90 min.

Director : Alain  Resnais

Background : January at ciné-club is a time to reflect, to think about history and how it continues to shape our present. No point in making new resolutions without back contexts and no way of understanding the future without first comprehending the past. How does history shape us, influence us, alter not only our mentalities but our physical space as well? Can history take on a human form and, if so, what kind of form does this historical embodiment take?
