  • When HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR, directed by Alain Resnais and written by Marguerite Duras, was released in 1959, it sent shock waves through the film world. It was clear, even from its first frames, that this modernist masterpiece was inventing a new kind of cinematic language. Below, watch the initial four and a half minutes of the film, a beautiful reverie on post-World War II life.
    Alain Resnais’s HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR is now available in Blu-ray and DVD special editions from the Criterion Collection.

    The greatest opening scene ever. If a film can make you cry within ten seconds of starting it's probably one of the greatest films of all time.

    My favourite opening sequence ever. Always gives me the goosebumps, especially when he repeats the line "Tu n'as rien vu à Hiroshima".

      This opening sequence and the whole movies , especially its dialogues were quite like in a poem.

      Yes! True. The dialogue is a very flow poem, that mix many differents elements as like the Image (visual). This starting is a really masterpiece

    In this all too brief opening sequence to Alain Resnais’s “Hiroshima Mon Amor” I am reminded of this film’s stark beauty; the precious gift that international cinema from its golden age was, and how far filmmaking has fallen in depth, perception and import over the past forty years.

    This is the greatest opening of all time. The philosophical reflections are so well communicated just within the first two minutes. It's the purest and most honest art I've ever witnessed.

    I remember the first time I watched this movie I had the volume all the way down on my TV by accident. The first couple shots of their bodies covered in ash played in complete silence. It took my breath away like few films ever have.

    Translation error: the phrase "l'herbe, c'est bien simple..." does not translate as "the grass. It's quite simple", which makes no sense. It should read: "All of the grass, I'm telling you, it...", implying everything has been burned down (and she's cut off in what she's saying).

    Alain Resnais, like all great directors, knew the importance of music in films, he knew the value and skill of *Giovanni Fusco* and how much their mutual collaboration created the magic of the film, unfortunately very often those who talk about cinema do not have this awareness, so much so that for example below this video Giovanni Fusco is not even mentioned.

      Actually, this film is from 1959, by that time Kubrick had already made four films and two shorts. So not really "before Kubrick" but a great film nonetheless.
