An OfficiaI SeIection at both the Cannes and New York Film FestivaIs, Raoul Ruiz's Time Regained performs the remarkable feat of bringing the work of Marcel Proust to the screen. With briIliant execution, Time Regained realizes the mixture of space and time, of image and memory, which flows throughout Proust's muIti-volume "Remembrance of Things Past." Aided by an outstanding cast of internationaI film stars, including Catherine Deneuve, John MaIkovich, Emmanuelle 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, looking through photos and remembering his life. Gradually, we watch as his own experiences give way to the characters in his noveI -- fiction eclipses reaIity. Ruiz, with incredible visual dexterity, shows how the author's creations combine with his own experiences, like sIides projected on to the waII of his room. Memories of the idyllic days of the Iost paradise that was Proust's childhood alternate with rich recoIlections of his life in fin de siecIe 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.
ln Time Regained, Ruiz discovers the impossible--the intangibIe timeIessness that was the object of Proust's noveIs, bIending both the baroque and the surreal. The result is a montage of moving snapshots and feverish dreams that makes the film the ultimate in Proustian cinema, succeeding magnificently where other adaptations of his work have failed. Enriched by steIIar performances, Time Regained is a "gorgeous, meticulously crafted spectacIe" that is presented here for the first time, in Ietterboxed format.
