----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The screenplay, by Marguerite Duras (trans. Richard Seaver) is published as a paperback by Grove Press, and can be easily ordered from them. I have recently published a rather lengthy essay on the film, which might prove helpful if for nothing else the information in the footnotes (also lengthy). Here is the bibliographical information on that essay: Earl Jackson, Jr., "Desire at Cross(cultural) Purposes: *Hiroshima, Mon Amour* and *Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence,*" Positions 2.1 (Spring 1994): 133-174. *Positions* is a new cultural studies journal focusing on East Asia, published by Duke University Press. The issue in which this article appears is a special issue entitled *Circuits of Desire,* guest edited by Yukiko Hanawa. If I can be of any further assistant, please don't hesitate to email me. Sincerely, Earl Jackson, Jr., Associate Professor, University of California, Santa Cruz.
