Hiroshima mon amour is a 1959 French film directed by French director Alain Resnais. The film documents an intensely personal conversation between a French-Japanese couple about memory. A young French actress is in Japan making a film about peace and the impact of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima she has a passionate affair with a Japanese architect who lives in town. However, as the ephemeral lovers exchange thoughts and memories during the remaining hours of her time in Hiroshima, painful flashbacks of her youthful wartime liaison inextricably intertwine with the haunting remembrance of that appalling period in history. But soon, morning comes, and all that remains will be the nostalgia of an impossible love.
