Joshua Hirsch explores the changes in documentary brought about by cinema verite, culminating in Shoah. He then turns to teh appearance of a fictional posttraumatic cinema, tracing its development through the vivid flashbacks in Resnais'" Hiroshima, mon amour" to the portrayal of pain and memory in" Pawnbroker."
