From Venice to Illiers, a journey into the memory of Proust.
Made for French television on the occasion of Marcel Proust’s centenary.
Guy Gilles’ film freely intersperses documentary language with fiction, embodied in the figure of a visitor in search of the places and faces that Proust loved, from the Illiers-Combray of his childhood to the longed-for Venice that he never got to know.
With the participation of Patrick Jouané, Céleste Albaret, Pierre Larcher
and the voice of Emmanuelle Riva
Collaboration: Jean-Pierre Desfosse, Philippe Rousselot, Gérard Alary, Denise Baby, Prosper Seban.
ORTF production
