Time Regained
Originally filmed in 1999 and restored this year, the film opens in 1922, as Proust is on his deathbed pouring through old photographs. Gradually, we watch as his own experiences merge with his own literary creations. Idyllic memories of youth alternate with rich recollections of 19th century Parisian society. Special attention is given to Proust’s fascination with photography and early forms of radio and cinema—technologies that promised a more perfect form of “time regained” than words or memories could provide.
