L’évolution
du personnage féminin français pendant la 2nde Guerre Mondiale dans le film Hiroshima mon amour (1959)
Hiroshima mon amour est un excellent exemple du film classique en noir et blanc de la Nouvelle Vague en France, écrit par Marguerite Duras (1914-1996). Situé à Hiroshima au Japon suite à l’impensable; le bombardement atomique de cette ville par les États-Unis, le film aborde l’évolution psychologique d’une jeune femme. Il suit sa vie amoureuse mystérieuse et interdite en premier lieu avec un Allemand en France et ensuite avec un architecte japonaise marié au Japon.
Dans cet atelier de cinq semaines sur Zoom, joignez prof. Claudia Brown et découvrez l'évolution du personnage féminin français pendant la seconde guerre mondiale à travers le film Hiroshima mon amour.
