N.p. N.p., Circa 1959. Collection of five vintage oversize double weight reference photographs from the 1959 film. Two photographs with the stamp of the Lérida Ministry of Information of Spain on the verso, and all five with annotations in manuscript ink regarding cropping and identifying the film. Two photographs with titles tipped on the recto, one crediting director Alain Resnais.

Resnais' meditation on memory, history, and forgetfulness proved to be a major catalyst for the Rive Gauche movement, earning Resnais a Palme d'Or nomination and screenwriter Marguerite Duras an Academy Award nomination.

Set in Hiroshima, shot on location in Hiroshima, Japan and Nievre, France.
