	Hiroshima Mon Amour: Criterion Collection (1959)
		The woman insists that she saw sights of devastation and grotesqueness in Hiroshima following the detonation of the atomic bomb there, while the man claims that she witnessed none of this.
		Hiroshima mon amour appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Some of the film of Hiroshima and its victims displayed moderate signs of defects like specks, grit, and lines, but these scenes comprised a relatively minor portion of the film, and the flaws created no real distractions.

	Alain Resnais
		However, unlike Hiroshima mon amour where actions have individual, emotional consequence, Night and Fog is a scathing indictment of the conscious, deliberate obscuration of truth - an oppressive truth with moral and universal repercussions.
		Hiroshima mon amour is a highly stylized, tightly interwoven tale of lost love, a uniquely realized story of collective conscience: of regret and survival, loss and reconstruction...of nations and people.
		Recalling the interplay of role, identity, and memory of Resnais' earlier films, Hiroshima mon amour and Last Year at Marienbad, the film is also an exploration of identification and existential validation.

	Hiroshima mon amour / Hiroshima, My Love / Alain Resnais
		Indeed, Hiroshima mon amour started out as a documentary about the reconstruction of Hiroshima, and the first fifteen minutes of the film uses documentary footage to great effect to set the scene.
		Both characters in the film (the actress and the architect) have painful memories of the war, and their liaison seems to represent some kind of rapprochement between East and West.
		The stunning photography of contemporary Hiroshima, blended with bleak images of war-time France, is pure art, brought to life by a moving musical score.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Hiroshima Mon Amour
		I saw the museum, the films, the reconstructions, she insists, and as her voice drones on in reiteration, the viewer is exposed to what well may be the ghastliest five minutes ever recorded on commercial film.
		The scene shifts rapidly from a shot of the Hiroshima museum, to some of the relics of the attack, to graphic sections of film taken in Hiroshima immediately after the bombing.
		Abject terror, however, is the overwhelming constituent of both views, and Hiroshima Mon Amour, is above anything else, an attempt to instill that terror in a populace which has built the new Hiroshima and has forgotten, or never experienced the destruction of the old.

	Hiroshima mon amour (1959)
		Hiroshima mon amour seeks to be more philosophical than this though, discovering parallels between joy/despair and society/individual to name two.
		The overall tone of Hiroshima mon amour is one of torture and exorcism, the painful knowledge that eventually all of these shared moments will be forgotten.
		The beauty is that Hiroshima mon amour can take these accusations of pretentiousness as easily as unbounded compliments because it is, and always will be, a film which can only be judged personally.

	Hiroshima Mon Amour
		Hiroshima mon amour is rightly hailed as one of the masterpieces of the French Nouvelle Vague.
		Hiroshima mon amour ranks as one of the seminal films of the late 1950's, early 1960's "modernist" renaissance.
		Involuntary memory is, to quote Proust, "something that comes unsolicited from the past completely to unsettle the individual in the present." Hiroshima mon amour employs a similar aesthetic use of memory, with the (personal and historical) past searing into the present.

	Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959): Emmanuelle Riva, Eiji Okada - PopMatters Film Review
		In Hiroshima Mon Amour, Resnais and his screenwriter, French novelist Marguerite Duras, show their debts to the Modernists, to Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, philosopher Henri Bergson, and a group of contemporary experimental French writers (one of whom, Alain Robbe-Grillet, wrote the screenplay for Resnais's equally groundbreaking film L'Année dernière à Marienbad).
		While in Hiroshima to act in a film "about peace," she meets the Japanese man shortly before she is to return to Paris.
		Hiroshima Mon Amour therefore finds its tonic note in two people hopelessly separated, not by their marital status or culture, but by the burden of their memories.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Hiroshima, Mon Amour: The Criterion Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hiroshima, Mon Amour is a memory play told primarily by its female protagonist, Elle (Emmanuelle Riva), a French actress who has come to the Japanese city to make a film about peace.
		Near the end of her stay on the island, she has what is intended to be a simple one-night stand with a married Japanese architect and politician, Lui (Eiji Okada).
		Because his New Wave admirers so completely assimilated the film's visual language and cannibalized its bluntly non-linear structure (particularly with regard to the revolutionary jump-cutting to flashbacks) in establishing their own individual styles, revisiting the picture now is to pick over the leftovers of what must've once been an exceptional meal.

	Alain Resnais: Hiroshima Mon Amour
		The montage sequence in the Hiroshima museum and the footage of the Hiroshima aftermath serve as the visual externalization of the man's story.
		The focus on Hiroshima and its events takes place in a space owned by the woman, from the opening scene at her hotel room to the site where her movie is being shot.
		The trauma of Hiroshima and of Nevers are indicative of the more general phenomenon of losing innocence and becoming disillusioned, of trying to find order in a world that has proven itself to be chaotic and ungrounded.

	DVD Times - Hiroshima Mon Amour
		Set against a backdrop of post war Hiroshima the pasts of these characters are juxtaposed and reflected upon in a series of deliberately repetitive moments that require the viewer to seek out and deconstruct its narrative.
		Hiroshima Mon Amour is not a film about this particular moment in time, it is essentially a tale of lost love and new found passion.
		Hiroshima Mon Amour's façade is one of deep poignancy - a melding of sentimentalities which are never truly diffused by its critical endeavour to tell a beautiful story.

	Hiroshima Mon Amour - Movie Review
		Made in 1959 by Alain Resnais, Hiroshima mon amour -- along with The 400 Blows and Breathless -- is one of the most significant films of what become known as the French New Wave.
		On the surface, the idea that the suffering of a young woman whose lover has died can be compared to the tragedy of 200,000 deaths is a bit of a stretch, to be sure.
		Hiroshima mon amour also deals with contrasts and opposites such as love and death, war and peace, living and remembering, as well as dealing with two people from different parts of the world: one from France and one from Japan (both of whom in a post-WWII world would have been viewed differently than today).

	Hiroshima Mon Amour - Criterion Collection on All Consuming
		I didn’t know a lot about Alain Resnais’; Hiroshima Mon Amour before I saw it, but I had seen “Night and Fog” which is one of the most moving short films that I’ve ever seen.
		It’s one of those films that seems to be ahead of its time and I often forgot that it was actually released in 1959, which makes it 46 years old.
		I was not among those at Hiroshima who got radiation from the atomic bomb, but Resnais’ film most certainly radiated my heart, and I still have a lifetime scar which has not healed.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Review - Hiroshima Mon Amour
		As the title suggests, Hiroshima Mon Amour marries the institutions of love and war from the outset, a haunting opening shot of intertwined human limbs gently caressing one another amid a delicate snowfall of ash.
		Hiroshima Mon Amour presents the undeniable force of love in all its magnificent, brutal glory by interweaving scenes of physical and emotional destruction.
		The time spent in the present between the two lovers -- when they are not reminiscing about their pasts -- seems so sterile, even painful, that the recovery of lost love has hit their psyche like a nuclear bomb.

		Watching as these students weigh the meaning of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, earnestly debating the continued threat of a nuclear attack, is affecting.
		Neither was informed of the potential consequences of radiation exposure (serving instead as involuntary human guinea pigs) and, according to their accounts, each has met with years of government obstructionism and denial.

	The Pagan Agenda :: Hiroshima Mon Amour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The substance keeps pace with the style, and Resnais has done a miraculous job of keeping the film wavering on the cusp of pretense in order to take advantage of the psychological effects which come from transgressions of narrative norms without going so far as to disrupt the trance the film is able to sustain.
		That said, ‘Hiroshima’ is punctuated with breathless visuals that are so fantastically beautiful and emotionally charged that they seem to push the envelope of what cinema is capable of.
		Endless scholarly papers could be written on the significance of ‘Hiroshima Mon Amour’, but as Resnais states in the Criterion Collection interview it is his intention that the viewer actively constructs the narrative rather than seek out a pre-established one.

		She tries to convince him otherwise: she`s seen the museums, with exhibits of different things, like numerous bottle caps melded together from the heat, samples of burnt skin in jars, dramatic recreations of the actual event, and newsreels showing actual results of nuclear fallout on bodies.
		It is obvious these are the same two people who are having this debate, and later on, the woman talks about the city of Hiroshima today as she knows it.
		Overall, despite the fact that this was somewhat confusing and difficult, Hiroshima, Mon Amour is another typically French excursion in a typically French film subject: the endless possibilities in the nature of love.

		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, represented in newsreel footage of Hiroshima's hospital, war museum, and the rebuilt city, 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 image to the clipped poetry of dialogue, were shared tropes of Resnais and Duras.

		Ironically, the Japanese man, whose family perished in the bomb while he was serving elsewhere in the army, seems to be the one who was less affected by the war.
		Hiroshima mon amour is a powerful film that was intended to be a documentary, but after many turns it turned into a featured film.
