Movie Reviews of Swann in Love

Movie Review: Amazon.com review is factually wrong
Summary: 3 Stars

Marshall Fine doesn't know what he's talking about: Swann is not a French aristocrat. He may have money but he's a perpetual outsider in fin-de-si?cle Paris because he's Jewish. The film itself is visually stunning, but because Jeremy Irons is dubbed, it feels fake at its core.

Summary of Swann in Love

From internationally acclaimed director Volker Schl?ndorff (The Tin Drum) and starring Academy Award? winner Jeremy Irons(Reversal of Fortune, Dead Ringers) comes Swann In Love, a tale of obsessive love set against the colorful backdrop of Paris in the 1890s. Swann (Irons) falls in love with a young courtesan, and soon finds himself tormented by his unrelenting sexual desire. Based on the novel by Marcel
Proust, Swann in Love is a visually stunning film, bursting with life, love, and passion.

Everybody talks about reading Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, but do you know anyone who actually has? Here's a way to fake it: this film from Volker Schl?ndorff dramatizes one section of the ponderous novel, casting Jeremy Irons as a French aristocrat who makes himself something of a laughingstock with his obsessive pursuit of a faithless courtesan (or is that redundant) played by Ornella Muti. Some may find it slow going, but the film moves a lot faster than the book. And there is a certain hypnotic appeal to it, enhanced by Sven Nykvist's lush cinematography. Besides, is there an actor in movies today who can convey more emotional agony in a single longing look than Irons? --Marshall Fine
