1. Time Regained (1999) - William Hepner
29 mei 2022 · Time Regained is an entrancing attempt to take on a novel that is ill-suited to the cinema, and Raúl Ruiz does it with panache.

It wants to scream to the potential reader: I am important and goddamn it I’m the worth price, or however long I’ll be gathering dust in your library. And I’d be willing to bet that we’re all convinced the price tag reflects this kind of pompous importance. So when it comes to the source material of this essay, it’s worth mentioning that In Search of Lost Time falls under a species of the latter category while still living up to its accolades and providing one hell of a reading experience. But don’t expect the price to be any lower when it comes in a package of six volumes—in this case, perhaps the public library is a good idea. The notion is a simple one, but it governs the whole of a complex and startling universe: more than in any other facet of his sprawling masterwork, In Search of Lost Time, the brilliance of Marcel Proust lies in the supernal meeting of form and content, bringing to its fullest expression a principle of artistic harmony exemplified by some of the world’s greatest artists. But his staggering achievement is not merely that his novel finds this ideal unity, as though forever resting on i...

See AlsoThe Movieverse Multiverse WarThe film begins in 1922; Marcel Proust is on his deathbed. Looking through photographs, he reflects on his past, recalling his life and the people he has known and loved. Gradually, the memories of his life are supplanted by the memories of the characters in his novels, and soon, fiction overwhelms reality.

While the task of putting Proust on the screen has defeated directors like Joseph Losey and Luchino Visconti, Chilean maverick Raoul Ruiz takes a valiant stab at it in "Time Regained." Not unsuccessful in reproducing the eclectic spirit of "Remembrance of Things Past," this handsomely mounted period piece nonetheless leaves audiences unfamiliar with that magnum opus at a distinct disadvantage in connecting the dots of its dense, multicharacter semblance of plot. The film is engrossing despite its chaotically fragmented form, and its high-profile cast should open doors in select Euro salles.
