Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Handsomely staged and acutely co-scripted by Chilean director Raúl Ruiz, this triumph of technique and intellect is one of the finest literary adaptations of recent years. Such is the dazzling complexity of Marcel Proust's masterpiece novel Le Temps Retrouvé, it requires a film-maker of rare imagination to convey its multiple levels of meaning. As time elapses from the optimistic 1880s to the depressed 1920s, Ruiz calls on all manner of technical strategies to blend narrative, memory, emotion and dream into a sublime cinematic experience. Surrounded by such luminaries as Catherine Deneuve and John Malkovich, Marcello Mazzarella proves pivotal as Marcel, the writer whose life among the aristocracy becomes his art.
