HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR
TEXT BY MARGUERITE DURAS FOR THE FILM BY ALAIN RENAIS
No film of recent years has aroused more enthusiasm or received more unanimous accolades than Hiroshima Mon Amour.

HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR
TEXT BY MARGUERITE DURAS FOR THE FILM BY ALAIN RENAIS

One critic has called it "a thousand JÉirris in one," and another says it "has raised the cinema to the leiy^ijöf the arts which authentically rep-resent the movement of thought and the world of perception in the twentieth century."

On the surface the story of a short but profoundly moving love affair between a Japanese architect and a French actress visiting Japan to make a film on peace, it also recreates com-pellingly those experiences of war — France under the German occupation, and the Hiroshima bombing — which fifteen years later still influence, perhaps even dictate, the lives of both characters.
This volume contains the complete script of the film, as well as Miss Duras' original synopsis and notes, which provide further insights into the conception and evolution of the work. The script is illustrated with over seventy shots and sequences chosen and arranged by film-maker Robert Hughes.
"Hiroshima Mon Amour is a film that one can predict will still be important 50 years hence."
— Beckley, N. Y. Herald Tribune.
"Hiroshima Mon Amour is overwhelming. . . . A motion picture landmark." — Winsten, N. Y. Post.
