Time Regained

Filmmaker Raoul Ruiz tackles the daunting task of bringing Marcel Proust's magnum opus "Remembrance of Things Past" to the screen with this lush, lyrical drama. While on his deathbed, the taste of a childhood treat brings to the author's mind scenes of the past, with fiction and reality merging, in early-20th-century Parisian society. The stellar cast includes Emmanuelle Béart, Catherine Deneuve, Pascal Greggory, John Malkovich, Vincent Perez, Edith Scob, and Marcello Mazzarella as Proust. 158 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
