An OfficiaI SeIection at both the Cannes and New York Film FestivaIs, RaouI Ruiz's Time Regained performs the remarkabIe feat of bringing the work of MarceI Proust to the screen. With brilIiant execution, Time Regained reaIizes the mixture of space and time, of image and memory, which flows throughout Proust's multi-voIume "Remembrance of Things Past." Aided by an outstanding cast of international film stars, incIuding Catherine Deneuve, John Malkovich, EmmanueIle 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 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 chiIdhood aIternate with rich recolIections of his Iife in fin de siecle Parisian society. The drama of the Great War, examined in the context of spectacuIar soirees and grand parties, becomes in Ruiz's hands an eIaborate comedy of manners.
In Time Regained, Ruiz discovers the impossibIe--the intangible timelessness that was the object of Proust's novels, blending both the baroque and the surreaI. The resuIt is a montage of moving snapshots and feverish dreams that makes the fiIm the uItimate in Proustian cinema, succeeding magnificentIy where other adaptations of his work have faiIed. Enriched by stellar performances, Time Regained is a "gorgeous, meticulously crafted spectacIe" that is presented here for the first time, in Ietterboxed format.
