CGiii Comment

Adapting Proust - not an easy task, both visually and literally.

And...this lavish production does not disappoint.

However, it only scratches at the surface.

An expensive and ambitious project...that satisfies, partly.

The(ir) Blurb...

Elegant and educated bachelor, Charles Swann, moves in the most powerful and fashionable circles of Paris in the 1890's. When he falls in love with Odette de Crecy, a courtesan, his friends warn him against marriage. Proving himself a silly and socially-foul goose, Swann ducks his social responsibilities, Odette ensnares him, and he is gently but firmly cast out of society amidst everyone's great politeness.
