SUMMARY:cinéma FRANCOPHONE cinema: Hiroshima mon amour (dir. Alain Resnais\, 1959)
DESCRIPTION:IICSI Director Dr. Eric Fillion is curating a special Francophone Cinema film series at The Bookshelf Cinema (41 Quebec Street\, Guelph). These French-language films (with English subtitles) push the boundaries of cinematic convention to explore urgent\, timely topics. Intended for Francophiles and cinephiles alike\, the fall 2025 program brings together a brilliant constellation of politically minded artists that straddled the line between cinema and literature amid turbulent times (1940s—1960s)\, voicing their opposition to war\, imperialism\, and the spectre of fascism while also enacting and articulating their vision for a better\, more just and equitable society.  \nThe second film in the series will be Alain Resnais’ Hiroshima mon amour (1959). See the film synopsis and specifications below. We hope to see you there for the October edition of this exciting monthly film series! \nHiroshima mon amour\nDirector: Alain Resnais\nYear: 1959\nCountry: France\nRunning Time: 90 minutes \nA cornerstone of the French New Wave\, the first feature from Alain Resnais is one of the most influential films of all time. A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) engage in a brief\, intense affair in postwar Hiroshima\, their consuming mutual fascination impelling them to exorcise their own scarred memories oflove and suffering. With an innovative flashback structure and an Academy Award–nominated screenplay by novelist Marguerite Duras\, Hiroshima mon amour is a moody masterwork that delicately weaves past and present\, personal pain and public anguish.
