Maybe this is not the right place, but I just can say that I completely
agree with Christopher Berg's opinions on Raul Ruiz's version of Proust's Le
Temps Retrouvé.

In spite of the so much discussed difficulties to translate literary images
into film images, I think this is a brilliant and poetic glance to the
borders of the possibilities for the cinematographic expression.

In my country (Chile) the movie has open a very intresting debate beetwen
proust fans (whom believe Ruiz has gone too far) and movie critics, whom
remark the director's freedom.
