Analysis of The Film "Hiroshima Mon Amour" (1959) Through Mise En Scene
Abstract
“Hiroshima, Mon Amour” is a beautiful and haunting poetic story that deals with memory and forgetting, trauma and healing, dreams and fear, love, witnessing and sharing, emotion and time. The prologue is a piece of incredible cinematography that encapsulates the underlying themes. The past, present, and future are woven into a love story between an actress who comes to Hiroshima to act in a film about peace and a Japanese architect. Sharing the past solemnly creates new memories which may mean they change or forget the past. This film is strong and needs to be studied in depth through mise en scene elements and the results become a reference and contribution to the development of future films.
