«Hiroshima mon amour» is the film script by Marguerite Duras, published by Gallimard in paperback (176 pages, in French).
Written for Alain Resnais's film, the text follows the encounter in Hiroshima between a French actress and a Japanese architect. Their brief relationship brings to the surface in her the memory of a youthful love cut short by the war, while the city retains the memory of the atomic bomb. Duras thus interweaves intimate grief with historical memory and the difficulty of forgetting.
The text corresponds to the script of the eponymous film directed by Alain Resnais in 1959. This edition is number 9 in Gallimard's Folio collection.
Recommended for readers of French literature and cinema, and for those seeking a reflection on memory, war and love.
Marguerite Germaine Marie Donnadieu, known as Marguerite Duras, was a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, and experimental filmmaker. Her script for the film Hiroshima mon amour (1959) earned her a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards.
