Hiroshima Mon Amour

An intimate dialogue between a Japanese architect and a French actress anchors this acclaimed French film, a landmark work of the French New Wave.

As their memories braid together, they reflect on the past while contemplating the destruction unleashed by the atomic bombing of the city.
