Here was a film of overwhelming originality in both style and content. The Japanese co-producers insisted on a story set equally in Japan and France with one star from each country. MakinQ his feature film debut, Alain Resnais gave Marguerite Duras the idea of a story that linked the atom bomb on Hiroshima with an event in war-time France, and she evolved a screenplay drawing on the memories of an actress (Emmannuelle Riva) engaged in a passionate love affair with a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada).
