Time Regained (2000)

Ass-numbing adaptation of the last part of Marcel Proust's mammoth Rememberance of Things Past, which as you might expect makes about as much sense as the Cliff's Notes for Catch-22. Raoul Ruiz's playful directorial touches help out a bit, but all the fancy wipes and camera trickery in his arsenal can't keep this from falling into the Mantlepiece Movie category (a genre to whose charms I am generally blind). In two months' time, I will have completely forgotten this movie; considering the subject of the source, this deletion could be considered ironic.

Grade: C
