Review by Library Journal Review

A passing affair between a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) and a French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) in postwar Hiroshima plays out in dreamlike fashion as the tormented woman gradually reveals a painful incident from her past. Exquisitely scripted by Margaret Duras and mesmerizingly directed by Alain Resnais (Last Year at Marienbad), this exemplary French New Wave classic offers a haunting meditation on memory and loss. Replete with running commentary, director and lead actress interviews, and more, this newly restored reissue is a seminal film. [See Trailers, LJ 6/1/15] © Copyright 2015.
