Time Regained reveals the hidden common ground between media, and fields of study, that have often been seen in separate terms. Through illuminating readings of a series of filmmakers who have been deeply engaged with world literature, Delia Ungureanu reveals an intimate connection between film and modern literature, going back to the very origins of cinema and forward into Proust and the surrealists. With fascinating discussions of Proust and Breton's filmic imaginations and of literary filmmakers from Georges Méliès to Wong Kar-wai and Martin Scorsese, this brilliant and engaging book opens up new directions for both world literature and film studies today. * David Damrosch, Ernest Bernbaum Professor and Chair, Department of Comparative Literature Director, Institute for World Literature, Harvard University, USA * Focusing on works by Marcel Proust, Raúl Ruiz, Andrei Tarkovsky, Marguerite Yourcenar, Akira Kurosawa, Wong Kar-wai and others, this remarkable book creates a set of cross-media conversations that reach around the world. There is a new artistic adventure to be found on almost every page. * Michael Wood, the Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Princeton University, USA *
