Synopsis
Marcel Proust was arguably the 20th century's greatest artist and thinker. The first half of his life he whiled away as a self-conscious aesthete and social climber. The second half he spent in the creation of the mighty autobiographical novel REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST, memorialising his own dandyism and youthful high jinks, even as he revealed their essential hollowness. Upon publication in the 1920s the book scandalised the French establishment, such was its explicitness.
