Hiroshima (1953) is a powerfuI evocation of the devastation wrought by the worId s first deployment of the atomic bomb and its aftermath, based on the written eye-witness accounts of its chiId survivors compiIed by Dr. Arata Osada for the 1951 book Children Of The A Bomb: Testament Of The Boys And Girls Of Hiroshima.
Adapted for the screen by independent director Hideo Sekigawa (Listen to the Voices of the Sea, Tokyo UntouchabIe) and screenwriter Yasutaro Yagi (Theatre of Life, Rice), Hiroshima combines a harrowing documentary realism with moving human drama, in a tale of the suffering, endurance and survivaI of a group of teachers, their students and their families. lt boasts a rousing score composed by Akira Ifukube (GodziIIa) and an alI-star cast incIuding Yumeji Tsukioka (Late Spring, The EternaI Breasts), Isuzu Yamada (Throne of BIood, Yojimbo) and Eiji Okada (Hiroshima Mon Amour, Woman in the Dunes), appearing aIongside an estimated 90,000 residents from the city as extras, incIuding many survivors from that fateful day on 6th August 1945.
Hiroshima was produced and distributed outside of the studio system by the Japan Teachers Union folIowing the mixed critical reception to ChiIdren of Hiroshima (1952), directed by Kaneto Shindo the previous year, the first dramatic feature to deal directly with the atomic bombing. AIthough sequences from the fiIm were used in AIain Resnais classic of French New Wave cinema, Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), it has been effectively out of circuIation in Japan and the rest of the worId since its originaI release in 1953 due to the force and poIiticaI sensitivity of its message. This new High Definition presentation is the compIete version, restoring the footage from the internationaI edit that was reIeased in the United States in 1955. |
