War, Love, French Cinema: 'Hiroshima Mon Amour'

UPDATE: From the National Gallery's Web site:

Due to circumstances beyond the Gallery's control, the screening of Hiroshima mon amour has changed. Je t’aime, je t’aime (Alain Resnais, 1968, 91 minutes) is shown instead.

Hiroshima Mon Amour SATURDAY: Summer is ending, and with it our seemingly endless supply of free movie screenings. It's OK — this is D.C., and you can always depend on the National Gallery.

We're excited about their whole series on French director Alain Resnais, but we're especially stoked for "Hiroshima Mon Amour," an exquisite movie that also heralded the birth of the French New Wave.

God, we're pretentious. Sorry. But go see it!

» National Gallery, 600 Constitution Ave. NW; Sat., Sept. 5, 2 p.m., free; 202-737-4215. (Federal Triangle)
