Synopsis
Volker Schlöndorff’s sumptuous adaptation of the first volume of Marcel Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time” stars Jeremy Irons as the appropriately named Charles Swann, a beautiful bachelor, majestic in manner, but prone to foul displays of emotion. He swims in the best circles of 1890s Paris, until a destructive love for a seductive courtesan named Odette (Ornella Muti) leads him astray.
