"A French actress is in Hiroshima for an anti-war film. Her presence in the city and a brief affair with a Japanese architect results in an intense reliving of a first love affair with a German soldier, her clumsy revolt against the stifling, provincial milieu of wartime Nevers. The theme is the mind's struggle, at different levels of experience, to accommodate intolerable events. Rather than establish them as equivalent, Resnais and Duras sought to oppose the enormity of Hiroshima with the personal tragedy at Nevers. The subtext is a reflection on the impossibility of making a documentary which could adequately encompass the implications of a holocaust like Hiroshima, something which Resnais had attempted. This realisation was the genesis of Hiroshima Mon Amour."

"Die französische Schauspielerin Elle reist im Jahr 1957 zu Filmaufnahmen nach Hiroshima, wo die entsetzliche Vergangenheit der Stadt auch noch über ein Jahrzehnt nach dem Kriegsende immer und überall fühlbar und gegenwärtig ist. Als Elle an ihrem vorletzten Drehtag dem japanischen Architekten Lui begegnet und eine kurze, aber umso leidenschaftlichere Liebesbeziehung mit ihm beginnt, werden mit der Erinnerung an ihre erste große Liebe auch ihre traumatischen Erinnerungen an den Zweiten Weltkrieg in Frankreich wach. In ihrer einzigen gemeinsamen Liebesnacht mit Lui erzählt sie ihm von ihrer großen Liebe zu einem deutschen Besatzungssoldaten. Sie vertraut ihm eine Geschichte an, die sie bisher noch niemanden erzählt hat, der fremde Liebhaber wird in dieser Nacht zum engen Vertrauten. Mehrere Tausend Kilometer von ihrem Heimatort Nevers entfernt verbinden sich für sie die grauenvollen Kriegsgeschehen in Japan und Frankreich, ihre Liebe zu Lui und zu dem deutschen Soldaten, Gegenwart und Vergangenheit. Während der deutschen Besetzung Frankreichs durch Hitler-Deutschland hatte Elle sich in einen deutschen Soldaten verliebt, der am Tag der Befreiung vor ihren Augen erschossen wurde. Da diese Liebe nicht unentdeckt blieb, wurden Elle als Zeichen der Schande und Scham die Haare rasiert, ihre Eltern versteckten sie zunächst vor dem Zorn der übrigen Dorfbewohnern - diese werfen auch ihr Kollaboration mit den Deutschen vor - im Keller ihres Hauses und schickten sie anschließend heimlich ins ferne Paris. Über das tragische Ende dieser ersten großen Liebe ist Elle nie hinweggekommen, Jahre später wird sie nun in einem Hotelzimmer in Hiroshima wieder ganz gegenwärtig. Aber auch für ihre Liebe zu Lui gibt es keine Zukunft. Schon in wenigen Stunden wird Elle abreisen, während er zurückbleibt, genau wie Lui ist Elle verheiratet. Den beiden bleiben nur diese 24 Stunden in Hiroshima und ihre Liebesnacht in einem Hotel in der Stadt."

"During the filming of an anti-war film in Japan, a French actress falls in love with a Japanese architect. Their relationship leads to the sharing of wartime experiences from opposite sides of the world. The love affair inspires the return of a flood of memories for the French actress who remembers the killing of a German soldier with whom she was in love during the war. She recalls the humiliation of being paraded through the streets of her town as a prostitute for fraternizing with the enemy. Director Resnais' film broke many cinematic conventions by interweaving the protagonists memories of their experiences during the war with their adult lives and combining music and dramatic voice over in new ways. Because Resnais felt it was unecessary to honor the traditional sense of narrative and time, some critics were not certain during the viewing of the film whether they're watching the events of 1959 or of 1945. Nevertheless, the film was an international success, earning an Oscar nomination for screenwriter Marguerite Duras."
