It is not explained, so one must be “au courant.” The image is of the steeple in Illiers (now, fittingly known as “Illiers-Combray”). The stream that passes behind Marcel Proust’s childhood home, still with the stone facilities for doing laundry, is in the foreground. Along that stream, in the long summer evenings of northern France, during “La Belle Epoque,” a postprandial stroll could be taken, and Proust would dub that walk “Swann’s Way.” The destination would be a small municipal park known as Pré Catalan. It is there that the director, Raul Ruez, chose to set-up his cameras to provide that image. Wonderful Pré Catalan has been a part of my life, as has been that aforementioned stroll, undertaken numerous times since we routinely rented a gîte (a farmhouse) only 12 km. away, around the summer solstice, when full dark did not occur until 11 pm. More wonderful still, despite its fame, we would normally be the only people there.Audacious, to say the least. How can anyone even consider making a movie out of one of the longest novel in the French language, “A la Recherche du Temps Perdu,” which is now more properly translated into English as “In Search of Lost Time” (previously it has been very loosely translated as “Remembrance of Things Past”)? Begin at the ending, is Ruez’s approach. The title to the movie is the same as the title to Volume 6, the last volume of the novel, as it is now traditionally printed. I’ve read the entire six volumes and think the last a bit of an outlier, as though Proust was racing to finish it, knowing the end is near. It is the only volume that provides an actual date in the text. “La Belle Epoque” had come to a crashing end; World War I is in the (distant) background, though it is only 50-100 km away, and there are air raids on Paris. Still, “le gratin” seems largely unaffected; the hobnobbing and the good food at the salons continues unabated.The opening scene shows Proust in his bed, in poor health, scribbling away, while also dictating portions of the final volume to his housekeeper. Marcella Mazzeralla plays Proust. Far from that lovely stream in Illiers-Combray and the eagerly awaited childhood kiss from mom, there is the decadence and degeneration that age and the war years bring on. Baron de Charlus, played by John Malkovich, enjoys his young men, from Morel to the elevator boy from the hotel at Balbec who needs connections to get into the Air Force. St. Loup loves the war and enjoys some S&M, rather graphically shown, while on leave (as though the war itself is not enough S&M.)Parts of this movie would be difficult to understand if the viewer had not already read the novel. There are wild swings across time, with flashbacks which provide rich visual depictions of the dinner parties hosted by the Verdurins, with “all the usual suspects,” from the Duke de Guermantes to Cottard in attendance. The remark about a surgeon being able to see the cancer laying underneath the beautiful smooth skin of a woman, in regards to the corruption at the dinner parties, made it to the movie. Naturally there are also flashbacks to the hotel at Balbec, and the stirrings of first love with Gilberte, played well by Emmanuelle Béart, and her friend, Albertine. Proust’s insecurities that his chief rival for his first love might be another woman is also reflected in the movie. Catherine Deneuve is well-suited for the role of Odette de Crecy, as she notches a few bedposts working her way through life, and Le Gratin of society. And famous Françoise, the family maid, also makes the movie, in a much later stage in life, when she is departing an air raid shelter.Like the even more famous madeleine in the novel, this movie, even taking the story back to front, stirred a lot of memories in the tea cup, coupled with a bit of nostalgia for the days of yore, when one could take those leisurely strolls, sans cell phone, before or after dinner, during the gloriously long days of summer in northern France. 5-stars, plus, for both the strolls and the movie. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars If you're unfamiliar with the novel, the film might present difficulties (details) *by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2011* One of the longest novels in the history of the planet (3,000+ pages) is Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time: Proust 6-pack (Proust Complete). It makes War and Peace (Vintage Classics) run off and squeak in terms of sheer weight. Time Regained: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. VI (Modern Library Classics) (v. 6) is the sixth and final volume of the novel series.In the 1999 film/DVD version under review here, the viewer tracks the life of the author, Marcel Proust (1871-1922), out of sequence, as the protagonist of the original novel mentally relives a retrospective of his past. He attempts to complete his great novel from his deathbed so we see his interactions from that perspective, and intermittently as vignettes of his past. It's this aspect of the film which might generate great confusion for some viewers who are unfamiliar with Proust's Magnum opus novel, additionally complicated by the fact that the novel itself is conveyed by the most lyrical of prose and as through a diaphanous lens, some in real time and some in retrospect. The setting is early 20th Century France. The backdrop for the film is largely that of World War I.Proust wrote of a strange life, at least from a contemporary paradigm. He tells of life among the nobility in Paris and at other locations such as Balbec. His relatives were quite the sheltering kind and there seems to be an invisible shield over him from that point forward. Life experiences for him run the gambit from venomous gossip to homosexual brothels. Proust always seems to be on the outside looking in to the lives of this collection of musicians, writers, military officers, nobles and the like, most of whom manifest some pretty bizarre affinities.For those who know Proust, yes, you'll get [the odious] Odette, Gilberte, St. Loup, and Albertine... in fact one is exposed to most of the prime players of the novel, albeit often in little more than a flash.I loved the cinematography of this film which features very strong and hazy backlighting, particularly during Proust's periods of reminiscing; however, this gives rise to a great problem for the typical American viewer: the film is conveyed in the French language with English subtitles which frequently disappear into the intense backlighting. I more-or-less guesstimated that I was deprived of between 2-4 percent of the dialogue. The translation itself was excellent but those quirky subtitles were quite discouraging at times -- a great shame!The international slate of actors includes Catherine Deneuve, Emmanuelle Béart, Vincent Perez, and John Malkovich (Beowulf (Unrated Director's Cut).) This 158-minute French production was strategically directed by Raoul Ruiz. The superb classical soundtrack, composed by Gorge Arriagada, is thankfully available: Le Temps Retrouvé (Time Regained).For me, I can hardly generate adequate praise for this pure art film... but then I've recently read the novel. But, on the other hand, I would not wish in any way to discourage anyone from taking in this fine dramatic film. Recommended to fans both of the book(s) and of the genre. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars See the Salons and Homes so Poignantly Described by Proust *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2020* Time Regained is a superb adaption of the last volume of In Search of Lost Time. The viewer is treated to a well-imagined recreation of the salons and homes often described in Proust.The film will, however, make little sense to those who haven’t read In Search of Lost Time. And the scenes tend to focus on the various romantic entanglements. The role of art in society, the replacing of religious creeds and rites by the artist and Proust’s many reflections on life are barely present in the film.Even so, it instilled in me a desire to read more about Proust or even reread In Search of Lost Time. If that is its effect it is surely a success. Recommended to all Proust devotees. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/85609841-time-regained](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/85609841-time-regained) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
