CGiii Comment
A lousy way to start a film...
Magnificently subtle...magnificently boring.
An adaptation of Proust's 'La Prisoniere' - best to read the book...this is too simple an approach for the complexity therein...
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
An adaptation of Proust's "La Prisoniere" (book five of "Remembrance of Things Past"). Set in Paris, France, it is a serious tale of a tragic and dysfunctional love.
