Wikipedia article
' la recherche du temps perdu' is a 2011 television film by Nina Companez, based on Marcel Proust's 19131927 seven-volume novel 'In Search of Lost Time'.
The two-part film attempts to cover the entire novel with the exception of the first volume, 'Swann's Way'the narrator's childhood and the story of Charles Swann are only briefly mentioned, the latter having already been previously adapted as 'Swann in Love' (1984) by Volker Schlndorff.
Critical reception was mixed, with e.g. German newspaper 'Sddeutsche Zeitung' questioning the wisdom and feasibility of filming the novel in its entirety at all. The review in 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung' pointed out the staginess of the adaptation and found Micha Lescot's slightly tongue-in-cheek performance as the narrator somewhat lacking. 'Der Tagesspiegel' on the other hand praised the adaptation, in particular for its visual opulence and Micha Lescot's acting. 'Le Figaro' also lauded the telefilm both for its screenplaywhich it considered accessible in style yet true to the tone of the noveland the performances, especially by Micha Lescot, Didier Sandre, and Dominique Blanc.
