Realizing that her lover Jean is losing interest in her, a society lady, Helene, gets revenge by tricking him into marrying a former prostitute. After the wedding Helene tells a stunned Jean about his wife's secret past, but the ending has more than one surprise twist. This is a modernized but fairly faithful adaptation of the story of Madame de La Pommeraye from Denis Diderot's novel Jacques le Fataliste. Robert Bresson's second movie, a melodrama of love, jealousy, revenge, and redemption, is haunted by an uneasy tension between Bresson's ambitions and his directorial compromises.

法國女演員在受原子彈轟炸過的廣島上邂逅日籍建築師，最後一夜交換溫柔，過後留下的幽怨，比相逢恨晚更強烈。鼓動新浪潮電影的重要片目，率先運用跳接、重覆對白、回憶、影機移動創造出似夢迷離的時序空間。到底是愛情故事還是以情喻世已不再重要，一句You are Hiroshima. You are Nevers留你我一片值得咀嚼的空白。

Written by Marguerite Duras, Hiroshima, Mon Amour is the story of a French woman and a Japanese man who become lovers in the city of Hiroshima, where the U.S. dropped a nuclear bomb to end World War II. Following the inner thoughts of the characters, the film is unfolded in a non-linear narrative, traveling through the past, present and future. Yet audiences have never had trouble relating to this bold milestone of the French New Wave, largely because at its heart is a genuinely affecting, soulful love story. A bold and ground-breaking piece that won the Best Foreign Film in New York Film Critics Circle Awards.
