Hiroshima mon amour
These films by Resnais and Suwa resonate with each other, since the latter would never have existed without the former. At the beginning of the 21st century, a filmmaker sets out to film a tribute to Hiroshima mon amour, written by Marguerite Duras and directed by Alain Resnais 40 years earlier. H Story is a meditation on contemporary history, the passage of time and the art of directing which is irrevocably linked to its implementation in the era in which it is set.
In 1957, a French actress shoots a film for peace in Hiroshima. There she meets a married man with whom she develops a relationship that is built between remembering and forgetting the traumas of war.

Alain Resnais
Alain Resnais was a French director, screenwriter, and editor. As the director of Hiroshima, mon amour (1959) and Last Year at Marienbad (1961), he quickly became regarded as one of the major figures of the French New Wave and one of the fathers of European cinematic modernity, alongside Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, and Michelangelo Antonioni, for his way of challenging classical cinema grammar and deconstructing linear narration. A filmmaker who enjoyed experimentation and was able to question himself with each new project, Alain Resnais was recognized for his ability to create new forms and enrich the codes of cinematic representation by blending it with other arts: literature, theater, music, painting, and comics. His work encompasses a wide range of themes such as memory, political engagement, intimacy, death, and dreams.
