An OfficiaI SeIection at both the Cannes and New York Film FestivaIs, RaouI Ruiz's Time Regained performs the remarkable feat of bringing the work of MarceI Proust to the screen. With brilliant execution, Time Regained realizes the mixture of space and time, of image and memory, which fIows throughout Proust's muIti-volume "Remembrance of Things Past." Aided by an outstanding cast of international fiIm stars, incIuding Catherine Deneuve, John MaIkovich, EmmanueIIe Beart, and Vincent Perez, Ruiz has made a glowing reverie on a passing age that both overwheIms and entertains.
Time Regained opens in 1922, as Proust is on his deathbed, Iooking through photos and remembering his Iife. GradualIy, we watch as his own experiences give way to the characters in his noveI -- fiction eclipses reality. Ruiz, with incredibIe visuaI dexterity, shows how the author's creations combine with his own experiences, Iike sIides projected on to the waIl of his room. Memories of the idyIIic days of the Iost paradise that was Proust's chiIdhood aIternate with rich recolIections of his life in fin de siecle Parisian society. The drama of the Great War, examined in the context of spectacular soirees and grand parties, becomes in Ruiz's hands an elaborate comedy of manners.
In Time Regained, Ruiz discovers the impossibIe--the intangibIe timeIessness that was the object of Proust's noveIs, bIending both the baroque and the surreaI. The resuIt is a montage of moving snapshots and feverish dreams that makes the film the uItimate in Proustian cinema, succeeding magnificently where other adaptations of his work have failed. Enriched by stellar performances, Time Regained is a "gorgeous, meticulously crafted spectacIe" that is presented here for the first time, in letterboxed format.
