Comparing the 1080p Criterion to Previous Releases

For those who own the 2003 Criterion DVD (spine number 196), the upgrade is stark. The DVD was non-anamorphic, meaning it letterboxed a widescreen image into a 4:3 frame, reducing effective resolution to roughly 480 lines. The new Blu-ray, by contrast, uses the entire 16:9 screen with pillar-bars on the sides for the 1.37:1 image. The DVD also suffered from edge enhancement (halos around objects) that are completely absent here. Target Keyword: Hiroshima

The film refuses to offer catharsis. There is no resolution to the trauma of the bomb, nor is there a resolution to the woman’s grief. Instead, Resnais offers a profound meditation on the nature of memory. He demonstrates that forgetting is as essential to survival as remembering, and that the cinema, despite its power, can only ever offer a shadow of the truth. Hiroshima mon amour remains a vital text not because it answers the questions of history, but because it teaches us how to ask them.
