Validated parking is avilable in the parking lot directly in front of the Tivoli. This month we’ll see the the 1960 Alain Resnais classic Hiroshima Mon Amour. This is Renais’ first feature and one of the crucial films of the French new wave. An actress (Emmanuelle Riva) making a film about peace in Hiroshima, has a brief but intense affair with a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada). The film is about history, memory, forgetting and love. This script by Marguerite Duras is filmed magnificently by Sacha Vierny and Michio Takahashi. Shown in a beautiful 35mm print. (91 minutes) For information on the Starz FilmCenter go to starzfilmcenter.com For a PDF of our Tattered Cover Film Series flyer, please click Tattered Cover Film Series flyer.
