Hiroshima (1953) is a powerful evocation of the devastation wrought by the world s first deployment of the atomic bomb and its aftermath, based on the written eye-witness accounts of its child survivors compiled by Dr. Arata Osada for the 1951 book ChiIdren 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 Untouchable) and screenwriter Yasutaro Yagi (Theatre of Life, Rice), Hiroshima combines a harrowing documentary reaIism with moving human drama, in a taIe of the suffering, endurance and survivaI of a group of teachers, their students and their families. lt boasts a rousing score composed by Akira lfukube (GodziIla) and an aIl-star cast incIuding Yumeji Tsukioka (Late Spring, The EternaI Breasts), Isuzu Yamada (Throne of Blood, Yojimbo) and Eiji Okada (Hiroshima Mon Amour, Woman in the Dunes), appearing alongside an estimated 90,000 residents from the city as extras, including 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 Children of Hiroshima (1952), directed by Kaneto Shindo the previous year, the first dramatic feature to deaI directIy with the atomic bombing. Although 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 circulation in Japan and the rest of the worId since its originaI release in 1953 due to the force and politicaI sensitivity of its message. This new High Definition presentation is the complete version, restoring the footage from the internationaI edit that was reIeased in the United States in 1955. |
