Hiroshima Mon Amour (France, Japan)

On the morning of August 6th, 1945, the people in Hiroshima, Japan, became the first on earth to be subject to the devastation of a Nuclear bomb.

Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

This classic film is a love story set in Hiroshima, and perhaps also a subtle meditation on remembering and forgetting.
