Awarded the Tudor Vianu Prize for Literary and Cultural Theory by
the National Museum of Romanian Literature. Over the past 30 years,
the fields of world literature and world cinema have developed on
parallel but largely separate tracks, with little recognition of
their underlying similarities and the ways that each can learn from
the other. Time Regained does not move from literature to cinema,
but exists simultaneously in both fields. The 7 filmmakers selected
here, Andrei Tarkovsky, Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, Raul Ruiz,
Wong Kar Wai, Stephen Daldry, and Paolo Sorrentino, are themselves
also writers or people with literary training, and they produce a
new type of world cinema thanks to their understanding of the world
simultaneously through literature and film. In the process, their
films produce new readings of literary texts that world literature
studies wouldn't have been able to achieve with its own
instruments. Time Regained examines how filmmakers build on
literature to reconfigure the world as a landscape of dreams and
how they use film to reinvent the narrative techniques of the
authors on whom they draw. The selected filmmakers draw inspiration
from French surrealists, modernists Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf,
and Marguerite Yourcenar, and predecessors such as Dante and Cao
Xueqin. In the process, these filmmakers cross the borders between
film and literature, nation and world, dream and reality.
