in profound sense, just beautiful

It is a film deserving be loved. For acting, atmosphere, for each detail, from clothes to furniture, for dialogue and for the fragrance of melancholia.

But, more important, for be the expected slow paced movie.

Because it is a film about Marcel Proust in his last years of life. The tone is imposible to be more energetic and the details more significant. And this makes the performance of Jurgen Arndt a beautiful surprise and for this motif the beautiful work of. Eva Mattes as Celeste is just moving .

Maybe, it is one of films for connaisaires and for the viewers expecting discover it. And the precious gift is to be one of seeds for a profound special state of heart..
