This is the greatest opening of all time. The philosophical reflections are so well communicated just within the first two minutes. It's the purest and most honest art I've ever witnessed.
I remember the first time I watched this movie I had the volume all the way down on my TV by accident. The first couple shots of their bodies covered in ash played in complete silence. It took my breath away like few films ever have.
In this all too brief opening sequence to Alain Resnais’s “Hiroshima Mon Amor” I am reminded of this film’s stark beauty; the precious gift that international cinema from its golden age was, and how far filmmaking has fallen in depth, perception and import over the past forty years.
+uchihadante77 Definitely check it out if you haven't yet. It's a great film. I had the privilege of watching it on the big screen a couple of months ago and was thoroughly impressed.
Translation error: the phrase "l'herbe, c'est bien simple..." does not translate as "the grass. It's quite simple", which makes no sense. It should read: "All of the grass, I'm telling you, it...", implying everything has been burned down (and she's cut off in what she's saying).
Alain Resnais, like all great directors, knew the importance of music in films, he knew the value and skill of *Giovanni Fusco* and how much their mutual collaboration created the magic of the film, unfortunately very often those who talk about cinema do not have this awareness, so much so that for example below this video Giovanni Fusco is not even mentioned.
I love the song from the opening, but I can't find the soundtrack anywhere!!! So frustrating. I want to buy it. I don't want to simply listen to all of them at once on a single TH-cam video. Anyone have any idea where I can buy it???? h e l p
same with me, i'm just trying to find one piece of music I heard on Democracy Now but sadly all I can find is the single youtube video with all the songs which is better then nothing.
Actually, this film is from 1959, by that time Kubrick had already made four films and two shorts. So not really "before Kubrick" but a great film nonetheless.
This short sequence definitely "brings home the bacon" when you want to see what might come of our NUCLEAR AGE. And y'all are worried about COVID-19. Where's my PABST BLUE RIBBON?
The greatest opening scene ever. If a film can make you cry within ten seconds of starting it's probably one of the greatest films of all time.
My favourite opening sequence ever. Always gives me the goosebumps, especially when he repeats the line "Tu n'as rien vu à Hiroshima".
Why ?
This opening sequence and the whole movies , especially its dialogues were quite like in a poem.
Yes! True. The dialogue is a very flow poem, that mix many differents elements as like the Image (visual). This starting is a really masterpiece
@@trannamanh7246 of course knowing that Duras wrote the dialogues for the movie
There's so much emotion in the opening shots. It overwhelms me every time I see it.

jayricofilms Possibly the best.

Truly one of the masterpieces, I`m impressed! I so wanna see this movie.

One of the best scenes I’ve ever watched.
I saw this for the very first time right now and am just astounded at its brilliance.
Yes I know the feeling
+Ivan Penchev The whole film or just this scene?
Alyway come back to this! The film forces one directly into this affected strange mood. An attempt to make the unspeakable sayable.
One of the great masterpieces of world cinema
And your name is Nevers, Nevers in France.
You're destroying me. You're good for me.
Watched it last night for the first time wow what a beauty
Hiroshima mon Amour
Never more ...................!
Cinematography is awesome
I saw it in 1980 and consider it as one of the greatest ...
This movie always blows my mind
What an amazing use of space
If film can be a profound life experience then that’s what this film is.
WHAT A MASTERPIECE.
When geniuses harmonize... Resnais, Duras and Fusco...
It's like a painting

merci gabi, la langue de Shakespeare a besoin de héros tels que toi !

Definitely on my to see list.
Vim aqui relembrar como é lindo esse início!
Written by Marguerite Duras ❤
Nice gimbal work 😍
I love the song from the opening, but I can't find the soundtrack anywhere!!! So frustrating.

I don't want to simply listen to all of them at once on a single TH-cam video.

What to watch after “Oppenheimer.”
I can't watch this sequence, I just can't. But I am here to read the comments.
Nothing to lose
Kubrick style before Kubrick;)
Actually, this film is from 1959, by that time Kubrick had already made four films and two shorts. So not really "before Kubrick" but a great film nonetheless.
Here because of film class anybody ? 🦂
Me lol
This short sequence definitely "brings home the bacon" when you want to see what might come of our NUCLEAR AGE. And y'all are worried about COVID-19. Where's my PABST BLUE RIBBON?
Alguien sabe donde la puedo ver subtitulada al español?
✨✨✨
The translation is quite vague...
The premise didn't sound interesting but WOW at the cinematography! Stunning.
+Messofanego Definitely check it out if you haven't yet. It's a great film and gets more interesting as it goes on.
MrPinbert
