Hiroshima Mon Amour, Alain Resnais (1959)


This weeks film, Hiroshima, Mon Amour, showed many different examples of this weeks theme, editing and montages. The picture above shows how the editor used a close up shot to reveal intimacy between the unnamed characters. Furthermore, in the beginning of the film there was a montage of many different shots of people, places, etc. to give the audience an idea about the events that occurred in Hiroshima. I also noticed from the examples in class and from the movie that a lot of the time when montages occur, there is music playing, probably to create a more fluid transition between the different images. In this film during the montage there was music playing in the background on top of a woman's voice narrating.
