Hiroshima Mon Amour by Alain Resnais is a breathtaking experience. The opening sequence did something few films achieve…. It gave me chills to the spine. I was devoured by the beauty of the music with the images, and thinking Resnais is a genius the whole time. It’s a story about the pain of love, and life. Resnais’ distinct style is all over this film, and he takes it in a completely different direction. This is one of those amazing movies that makes you learn more about yourself and the world instead of just “feel” certain things. A tremendous statement about love, and the pain of love….
