Cinema and psychoanalysis presents "Hiroshima mon amour" by Alain Resnais.
Cinema Massimo – 4 April 2018, 9.00 p.m. – Screen Three
Continuing its collaboration with the National Cinema Museum, in its commitment to research significant meanings for the social dimension of existence, the Turin Psychoanalysis Centre is proposing the commented viewing of Alain Resnais’s film Hiroshima mon amour as a moment for reflection.
This showcase deals with exploring the world of human affection, which is simple, although the way it is felt and expressed is not. Life experiences generate turbulence in affection, which can lead to evolution crises or shutdowns. Cinema offers the opportunity of drawing us into many human stories. The film will be introduced and commented by Carlo Brosio. Admission 6.00/4.00 euro.
Alain Resnais
Hiroshima mon amour
(France 1959, 92’, DCP, b/w, o.v. it.s/t)
A Frenchwoman and a Japanese man meet at Hiroshima. She is an actress summoned for a pacifist propaganda film, he is an architect. None of the two is exactly aware of the terrible events that took place in Hiroshima at the time of the city’s destruction, but the architect has the history of Hiroshima impressed indelibly within his spirit, with the memory of his destroyed family, while she carries within her the memory of the German soldier whom she loved and who was killed.
