Plots(1)
Based on Marcel Proust's novel, a period film depicting the obsessive love of Charles Swann -- a Parisian, Jew -- for the fashionable Odette de Crecy. As Swann's jealous passion begins to overpower his rationale, his position in high society begins to deteriorate. When Swann at last obtains the hand of his beloved, his love for her has exhausted itself, leaving him with an empty marriage and social alienation. (official distributor synopsis)
