Cult Movie Mondays: Hiroshima, Mon Amour

Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959)

🗓 Monday, February 16 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh

Alain Resnais’ Hiroshima Mon Amour is one of the defining works of modern cinema - a film that dismantled traditional narrative to explore memory, trauma, and the impossibility of forgetting. Set in post-war Hiroshima, it traces a brief affair between a French actress and a Japanese architect, unfolding through fragmented recollection rather than linear story.

Written by Marguerite Duras, the film treats memory as something unstable and invasive, collapsing past and present into a continuous emotional state. Radical in form and devastating in impact, it remains a cornerstone of both the French New Wave and postwar cinema at large.|

“A film that changed the way cinema could speak about memory and loss.” – Roger Ebert

“One of the most beautiful and painful films ever made.” – Sight & Sound
