action
Paris 1922: The writer Marcel Proust, marked by old age and illness, lies in his bed and dictates to his housekeeper Celeste. While looking at old photos, he begins to remember his life among the decadent Parisian society of the early 20th century. His memories of the people who served him as models for the characters in his main work In Search of Lost Time are mixed up in the process . He encounters them alternately as a child, adolescent and adult.
The beautiful Gilberte once taught him to love. Her mother Odette had numerous loves. She wasn't averse to women either. Nevertheless, Proust sees in her the ideal of a woman and eternal youth. The lovely actress Albertine had once done it to him. In his fantasy, Proust meets the cynical and homosexual Baron de Charlus several times. Charlus had a relationship with the young pianist Morel, who, despite the First World War, preferred to play Beethoven . Morel turned away from him, however, and is now avoiding him. One evening Proust is walking through the streets of Paris. In order to allow himself a little rest, he finally looks for a pension. Suddenly he hears noises from an adjoining room. He looks curiously through a round opening into this very room, where Charlus is whipped by a man and then pays him for his services.
In addition to literature, love and the changing times, Proust's spirit is always preoccupied with war. Again and again he hears the sirens warning of the enemy troops. Gilbert's husband Robert tells him about the soldiers and how even the simplest men turn out to be heroes in the trenches. Morel is meanwhile wanted by the police as a deserter. Proust also attends a number of funerals. By accepting impermanence, he ultimately loses the fear of his own death. However, he is afraid that he will not be able to complete his literary work. To overcome reality with the help of fiction - in this he recognizes the meaning of his existence.
background
The literary model of the same name is the last volume of Marcel Proust's main work In Search of Lost Time ( À la recherche du temps perdu , 1908–1922), which in its entirety cannot be filmed. The German director Volker Schlöndorff already tried his hand at the screen adaptation of a chapter of the Proust novel with Eine Liebe von Swann ( Un amour de Swann , 1984). The prologue scenes go back to the first volume of the research, Du côté de chez Swann .
The shooting of Raúl Ruiz 's Proust film took place from November 1998 to February 1999 in Paris.
publication
The recovered time premiered on May 16, 1999 at the 52nd Cannes Film Festival, where the film took part in the Palme d'Or competition. Three days later, the two and a half hour work went to general rental in France. The film was released in Germany on January 18, 2001. In 2005 and 2006 it was released on DVD.
In 2011 the publishing house Suhrkamp brought out a DVD together with a booklet in its series filmedition suhrkamp . The booklet contains a conversation by Raúl Ruiz with Stéphane Bouquet and Emanuel Burdeau under the title “In the Laboratory of Research” as well as an essay by Reiner Niehoff with the title “Unfilmed? Marcel Prousts In Search of Lost Time and Film ”, in which he goes into detail on the various attempts to film Proust research.
Reviews
For the lexicon of international film , Die wiederfinde Zeit was a “multi-layered film” that was “characterized by narrative breaks and ellipses, the experimental interlocking of time levels, an affinity for the surrealistic and playing with dreams and visions”. Although there are "dramaturgical weaknesses", it is still a "convincing attempt to translate Proust into film". According to Cinema , the film is "long, but rarely lengthy". In addition, he was "first class cast and a feast for the eyes from the first to the last picture". Director Ruiz helped the flashback as a cinematic stylistic device "to save honor": "As if it had primarily been invented to do justice to Proust in the cinema."
Prisma praised the “brilliant camera” and the “outstanding” actors. The "almost three-hour history work" shows "however dramaturgical lengths". On the whole, however, the film is "a lot better [...] than Volker Schlöndorff's Eine Liebe von Swann ".
Awards
At the 52nd Cannes International Film Festival , Time Recovered took part in the Palme d'Or competition, which was ultimately awarded to Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's film Rosetta . At the César Awards , Ruiz's film was nominated in the Best Costumes category for the César . However, the costume designers Gabriella Pescucci and Caroline de Vivaise could not prevail against Catherine Leterrier , who won the award for Luc Besson's Johanna von Orleans . For her role as Gilberte, Emmanuelle Béart received an Acting Award at the Cabourg Film Festival. Cinematographer Ricardo Aronovich was honored with an award at the Ourense Film Festival .
