The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Hiroshima Mon Amour? (1959) at East Dulwich Tavern on 27 May 2016


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club has rescheduled and will be showing ?Hiroshima Mon Amour? (1959) at 8pm on Friday, 27 May 2016, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eliji Okada) have an intense affair in post-war Hiroshima. Unable to escape their own personal histories, the affair is both brief and painful as the film interweaves their stories with the memory of momentous and harrowing recent events.


Alain Resnais?s first film, Hiroshima Mon Amour, is one of the most influential films ever made and certainly one of the greatest in the canon of La Nouvelle Vague, a stream of groundbreaking films that came out of France in the late 1950s and early 1960s and transformed cinema. The film discards classical narrative and storytelling by using flashbacks of devastating acts of war that contrast with the deeply intimate love story. The film heralded a new cinematic language which even today challenges the boundaries of cinema.


A masterpiece of great beauty and gravity, its impact lies in the juxtaposition of imagery with the rhythmic and poetic dialogue written by Marguerite Duras and a striking score by Georges Delerue and Giovanni Fusco. Intertwining the impact of personal sorrow and public remembrance, this film offers one of the most haunting evocations of personal suffering, loss and grief and a profound meditation on the horror of war.


Director: Alain Resnais, writer: Marguerite Duras, with Emmanuelle Riva and Eiji Okada

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
