A cornerstone of the French New Wave, this 1959 first feature from Alain Resnais is one of the most influential films of all time. An extramarital affair between a Japanese architect and a French film maker in post-war Hiroshima recalls the horrors of the atomic bomb and the prospects for world peace with an innovative flashback structure and an Academy Award nominated screenplay by the author of the novel. Hiroshima Mon Amour is a moody masterwork. The French New Wave would go on to greatly influence US films of the late 60's and 70's. This was done with a picture of crystallized snow with filters from SPE and tweaked in Adobe. Another SNATM for this week.

I have seen photos of how the initial flare looks when an atom bomb explodes (from the tests of course). This represents somewhat that horrible burst Kathy.

I never saw the movie or the aftermath of Hiroshima, Kathy but this looks like how I would imagine the blast looking.
You are becoming very astute with your editing.
Good one for SNATM. 👍👍

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

You really are a film buff:)...another I don't know so I appreciate your detailed intro...it sounds like a great movie and your abstract and color choices certainly depict the high emotion and intensity of the film's theme...good work, Kathy!
