Review of Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) by Blake P — 10 Mar 2013
Patience rewards those willing to enter this movie like you enter a good book. the dialogues are more poems than actual talk, courtesy of Marguerite Duras. The unfolding of the story appears to take its time but at a point you realise you have travelled a very long and rich way, without leaving your seat, and barely leaving your thoughst.
The slowness is vertiginous in a good way, and the syncopated reading of Emmanuelle Rivas makes you feel the pull and thug of inner thoughts.
