Marcel Proust's Time Regained

Ruiz has made the most ambitious adaptation of a Proust work yet.

A lot more imaginative and entertaining than one might have thought possible, a feast for the eye and mind.

A mesmerizing, shimmering and amazingly successful adaptation of Time Regained.

The daring of the conception is matched only by the brilliance of the execution.

Struggles under the burden of adapting such rarefied material.

If you go with the flow, there's seductive imagery and a terrific performance by John Malkovich as a decadent baron.

Despite its actors, its lush photography and its obvious seriousness of purpose, is as close to a form of torture as any film ever devised. I can't think of any individuals I dislike so much as to force them to see this picture.
