For over 17 years, a group of readers congregates at a bar in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to read "In Search of Lost Time" by Marcel Proust.

New York Times

There’s some poignancy and amusement in how the experiences of time and love transpire in the novel and in the readers’ lives.

Listening to these people grapple with Proust’s work and relate it to their own individual lifetimes of experience is often fascinating.

In exploring how memory and creation are irrevocably entwined, Le Temps Perdu is an ideal tribute to Proust’s masterpiece and the readers who love it—but if you’re not already a fan, it may not hold the same poignancy.

Festivals and channels can always find room for charming documentaries about engaging folk in the twilight of their lives, and Le Temps Perdu is a solid example of this audience-friendly trend.
