NOTES

Title from title frames

Raúl Ruiz’s most ambitious literary adaptation and considered his greatest cinematic achievement, TIME REGAINED distills all of Marcel Proust’s iconic "In Search of Lost Time" into a single epic feature. The film opens in 1922, as Proust is on his deathbed pouring through old photographs that summon the events of his life. Gradually, we watch as his own experiences merge with his own literary creations. In Ruiz’s deft cinematic hands the film becomes a phantasmagorical comedy of manners as well as a powerful reflection on cinema’s ability to seize and preserve moments of time. The result is a montage of moving snapshots and feverish dreams that makes the film the ultimate in Proustian cinema. Nominated for a Palme d'Or at the **Cannes Film Festival.** Nominated for Best Costume Design at the **César Awards**. "*Ruiz gracefully weaves through flashbacks triggered by sights, sounds, and thoughts, effortlessly ricocheting from remembrance to remembrance.*" - Sean Axmaker, ***Seattle Post-Intelligencer***
