"The Proust Screenplay" by Harold Pinter: Proust on Film Part II.

Part 1: The Memory of TimeIn the first of our two-part look at Marcel Proust on film, we explore Raúl Ruiz’s 1999 adaptation of the final volume of In Search of Lost Time. Our panel discusses the act of remembering, the difference between theatrical and home viewing, and why our experience of time—and cinema—feels so fragmented in the modern age.Part 2: The Pinter MachineWe conclude our Proust series with a deep dive into Harold Pinter’s legendary unproduced screenplay for In Search of Lost Time. We break down the structural mechanics of his adaptation, the history of the Visconti production, and our take on the "Summarize Proust" contest.​The Novel:In Search of Lost Time (À la recherche du temps perdu) by Marcel Proust: A seven-volume work written between 1909 and 1922, published in 1927.The Film (Part 1):Time Regained (Le Temps retrouvé) (1999).
