- Title
Hiroshima and Marienbad: Metaphor and Metonomy.
- Authors
Williams, Linda
- Abstract
The article examines issues related to metaphor and metonomy in film citing its application in the films "Hiroshima Mon Amour" and "L'Annee Derniere a Marienbad," directed by Alain Resnais. Both films seem to be about a love affair between men and women who are pre-occupied, even obsessed with certain events of the past. "Hiroshima Mon Amour" demonstrates contradictory equations between love and horror, of pain and ecstacy between two lovers. The second film is based upon a relation between past and present that will establish an eternal essence of a fated love that has existed.
