Product: Hiroshima mon amour [VHS] (1960)
Rating: 2.0
Misguided, to say the least
The Bottom Line:A film that seems more like a project from film school than something people would still praise a half-century after its release, Hiroshima Mon Amour is a bizarre combination of romantic narrative and documentary about the atomic bomb which fails completely to find a compelling reason for its own existence; one of those films that people praise primarily because it's different, without looking to see if there's anything of substance behind the iconoclasm of the director, this is a film that should be viewed only by those who wish to study the cinematic equivalent of a dish which combines candy corn and foie gras.2/4
