Hiroshima mon amour screening
Hi everyone,
I want to post a quick reminder to everyone that at 6:30 P.M. on Monday 15 October the Ciné Club will be screening Hiroshima mon amour by director Alain Resnais in the SMIL screening room.
It may be interesting to see how a French new wave director such as Resnais represents Japan and Hiroshima. It would also be intriguing to see how the footage taken of Hiroshima after the bombing is used inside a narrative (albeit somewhat surrealist) text rather than documentary. Although not a Japanese film, I believe that we could easily fit this within the context of what we have been studying.
You can view a trailer for the film here (I apologise, there are no English subtitles on the trailer).
Update: The screening has been held over until next week. Due to low turnout we chose to postpone the screening of Hiroshima mon amour until the 22 of October. Hope to see some of you there!
