Time Regained (2000)

Based on the concluding installment of Marcel Proust's literary masterpiece, "Rememberance of Things Past," a dying Proust reflects upon his life from his deathbed, remembering many of the people who've affected and influenced him during the course of his adult life, from the 1880s to the early 1920s. Among them are Odette, a beautiful woman who's succeeded in life, but whose husband betrays her with both a female actress and a male pianist. The husband prefers the company of military men to that of the salons of Parisian high society, but it was in these very salons that young Proust found his literary inspiration, and it's in these rarefied rooms that his cherished memories reside.
