What's going on is the director'...Dear Plum<br /><br />What's going on is the director's effort to understand and convey what it must have been really been like when the bomb fell on Hiroshima. It's easy to talk but difficult to really grasp the enormity of it. <br /><br />There is a kind of brief cameo of the city on fire and people on fire rushing towards the river.<br /><br />The rest of the movie is like the elaborate packing of a precious piece of jewellery.<br /><br />All the best.S.

So I wanted to thank you for your piece on <i>Hiroshima mon amour</i>--a film I last saw in the '70s, when the Public Broadcasting System for a while was showing many Janus films (essentially today the Criterion Collection), and I was lucky in a pre-VCR world to see many seminal international films. <br /><br />But I had forgotten this one as I was planning my film list for The Book; but <i>Hiroshima ...</i> is now on the roster for 1960 (when it had a U.S. release). <br /><br />And you're right: It is not mere "soap opera"; it needed to use the woven-plot structure of a soap opera--and the on-the-edge emotions/experiences of same--to tell a holocaust tale.Paul J.
