Hiroshima my love, 5th chapter It was in Nevers (0:39:39 to 0:57:10)

Hiroshima is a major theme of this film. It represents destruction in Elle and Lui's relationship. A nuclear bomb that is dropped and destroys life immediately but also in a slow and painful way for many more. This type of pain represents the fallout from the couple's affair and the fact that they will never meet again unless another "war" occurs in their lifetime.
