TIME REGAINED

Catherine Deneuve, Emmanuelle Béart, Vincent Perez, John Malkovich, and Chiara Mastroianni head an all-star cast in this luxurious, acclaimed epic by the late Chilean-born surrealist Raúl Ruiz. Ruiz attempts the impossible here: a film version of Marcel Proust’s seven-volume novel In Search of Lost Time/Remembrance of Things Past. The miracle is that he succeeds so well, turning Proust’s elegy to lost time into a baroque kaleidoscope of characters and incidents—both real and fictional—appearing before the eyes of a dying writer. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 163 min.
