An Official Selection at both the Cannes and New York FiIm Festivals, Raoul Ruiz's Time Regained performs the remarkabIe feat of bringing the work of Marcel Proust to the screen. With brilliant 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 Malkovich, 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, Iooking through photos and remembering his Iife. GraduaIly, we watch as his own experiences give way to the characters in his novel -- fiction ecIipses reaIity. Ruiz, with incredible visuaI dexterity, shows how the author's creations combine with his own experiences, like sIides projected on to the walI of his room. Memories of the idyllic days of the lost paradise that was Proust's childhood alternate with rich recoIlections of his Iife 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.
In Time Regained, Ruiz discovers the impossible--the intangible timelessness that was the object of Proust's novels, blending both the baroque and the surreal. The resuIt is a montage of moving snapshots and feverish dreams that makes the film the uItimate in Proustian cinema, succeeding magnificentIy where other adaptations of his work have failed. Enriched by steIIar performances, Time Regained is a "gorgeous, meticuIously crafted spectacIe" that is presented here for the first time, in letterboxed format.
