I'm not sure but I thought it was an old documentary "Night and Fog" about the Nazi concentration camps. I didn't see enough to know for sure...

could it have been "hiroshima, mon amour" which came out in 1959 or so? about star-crossed lovers from different backgrounds-- a japanese man and french women --- use of flashbacks and images of body parts, like the hand on the screen? not sure, though...anyone can confirm?

kakes, I think you're right; Don is watching "Hiroshima Mon amour".

I was trying to figure out what the film was too and when I saw your post, it made perfect sense. HMA is about love and loss and memories and war and what all of that does to one.
