Beginning in 1922 on his deathbed, Marcel Proust's memories are paralleled with the final volume of his novel as fiction begins to overwhelm his reality. From recollections of his childhood, his lovers, and the Great War, Proust's memory lane proves to be an infinitely complex labyrinth.

What are critics saying?
Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach
Those not familiar with Proust will doubtless feel lost. Unlike the printed word, film does not offer the chance to pause and reflect, or go back and re-read a passage.
Comes as close as perhaps any film has gotten to approximating the inner life of an artist.
San Francisco Examiner by G. Allen Johnson
Ruiz has made the most ambitious adaptation of a Proust work yet.
The daring of the conception is matched only by the brilliance of the execution.
New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
A long sit for those unfamiliar with Proust's literary quest and output, but the view is sensational.
You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of works in any given year to which one is moved to apply the word ''masterpiece.'' Raul Ruiz's Time Regained is one of them.
Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan
It's the sort of movie that can make normally well-read and intelligent viewers feel stupid.
Miami Herald by Sara Wildberger
Time Regained is not really worth the time it takes to see it.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
Densely layered, demanding and beautiful, Ruiz has found the perfect venue for his passions and created the most cinematically breathtaking film of the new millennium.
