The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Hiroshima Mon Amour? (1959) at East Dulwich Tavern on 27 May 2016


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club has rescheduled and will be showing ?Hiroshima Mon Amour? (1959) at 8pm on Friday, 27 May 2016, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eliji Okada) have an intense affair in post-war Hiroshima. Unable to escape their own personal histories, the affair is both brief and painful as the film interweaves their stories with the memory of momentous and harrowing recent events.


Alain Resnais?s first film, Hiroshima Mon Amour, is one of the most influential films ever made and certainly one of the greatest in the canon of La Nouvelle Vague, a stream of groundbreaking films that came out of France in the late 1950s and early 1960s and transformed cinema. The film discards classical narrative and storytelling by using flashbacks of devastating acts of war that contrast with the deeply intimate love story. The film heralded a new cinematic language which even today challenges the boundaries of cinema.


A masterpiece of great beauty and gravity, its impact lies in the juxtaposition of imagery with the rhythmic and poetic dialogue written by Marguerite Duras and a striking score by Georges Delerue and Giovanni Fusco. Intertwining the impact of personal sorrow and public remembrance, this film offers one of the most haunting evocations of personal suffering, loss and grief and a profound meditation on the horror of war.


Director: Alain Resnais, writer: Marguerite Duras, with Emmanuelle Riva and Eiji Okada

You seem not to understand the meaning of "national debt".  Have you perhaps been relying on someone else's usage? I'm sorry to hear of Starmer's decimation.

    • in response to   On 19/11/2024 at 08:36, Moovart said: I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.   I've just had a look at the page source.  It contains a link to a Twitter page that's been automatically embedded in Moovart's post but seems not now operative. So I've dug out the url to have another try, this time without embedding:  https://x.com/guyshrubsole/status/1858490339356533018 .  Seems ok.   in reply to my own "Where did you get this from?" response to your post at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/353788-is-rachel-reeves-becoming-the-new-liz-truss/?do=findComment&comment=1688310, in which you again spoke of the government's "doubling the national debt".

The above merging of my posts in response to Sue and to Jazzer have been done by the forum system, so there's no point in my trying again to separate them.  I've already tried editing out the merging and reposting the one to jazzer, but ended up with the same forced merge.  Apologies. Latest edit.  The moral seems to be: don't try making two consecutive posts or they'll be liable to merging.  I've now been able to post a freestanding reply to jazzer's post now that there's an intervening post.
