AB - The Japanese-French film Hiroshima mon amour, published in 1959 by Alan Resnais, is considered as “a wonder in the postwar film history” due to its modern way of interpreting reality. The astonishing film music of Hiroshima mon amour, in particular using the counterpoint and leitmotiv functions, give obvious messages to screens which alone remain unclear.
This study addresses the understudied film music exploring a new possibility of interpreting this film. While Hiroshima mon amour was often received as a film about the mechanisms of memory and forgetfulness, the comments of film music show that Hiroshima mon amour can be a film to express the human search for personal happiness and peace, and the constant awareness of collective tragedy and threat.
