H Story, directed by Nobuhiro Suwa, is a docudrama that follows the attempt of French actress Béatrice Dalle and Japanese actor Kazushi Watanabe to remake Alain Resnais' classic film Hiroshima Mon Amour. The actors spend time in Hiroshima, where they meet survivors of the atomic bomb and visit various locations featured in the original film. However, the challenging process of remaking a beloved classic brings its own set of difficulties and tensions between the actors and the crew. As they struggle to balance artistic vision with practical constraints, the lines between their personal lives and the characters they portray begin to blur. The film blends documentary footage with scripted scenes, blurring the line between reality and fiction. The result is a poignant and introspective exploration of memory, loss, and the complexities of art.
