Film: Hiroshima Mon Amour, Kentucky Theatre

September 9, 2015 @ 7:15 pm - 9:00 pm

SQecial Media is proud to present the first film in this year’s Rosa Goddard International Film Festival, Hiroshima Mon Amour at the Kentucky Theatre at 7:15 pm on Wednesday, September 9.

Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959, director Alain Resnais)
“A cornerstone of the French New Wave, the first feature from Alain Resnais is one of the most influential films of all time. A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) engage in a brief, intense affair in postwar Hiroshima, their consuming mutual fascination impelling them to exorcise their own scarred memories of love and suffering. With an innovative flashback structure and an Academy Award–nominated screenplay by novelist Marguerite Duras, Hiroshima mon amour is a moody masterwork that delicately weaves past and present, personal pain and public anguish.” —The Criterion Collection
