Hiroshima Mon Amour (Criterion Collection)

Director Alain Resnais' haunting, classic love story follows two people─a beautiful French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada)─who spend a very intense 36 hours in the title city escaping dark memories of war and heartbreak in a brief but meaningful affair. The seminal entry in the French New Wave weaves complex images and flashbacks in its depiction of the horrors of World War II and the atomic bomb. 91 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurettes; interviews. In French with English subtitles.
