How Proust can change your life
Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад
An entertaining drama-documentary about the life and philosophy of the French writer Marcel Proust. Starring Ralph Fiennes and Felicity Kendal, and featuring Alain de Botton.
She was a very poor judge of character. She revered this chap (a serial fantacist, fraudulent memoirist and paedophile), and Saville.
This was filmed in 1982
it is astonishing to hear the voices of "old generations", those glorious voices are still shining like modern days despite all the odds of mono recording nearly a century ago.
Wow, an excellent presentation. So glad I discovered it. And just when he couldn't get any better, I find out that he spoke up for the animals! Incredible.
How can this be the first comment … for such a beautiful novel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇬🇧 🇬🇷 🇮🇹
Ariana Huffington is the first and greatest inspiration to THROW UP I have ever witnessed. What valuable archive!!
BRAVO! A STRAIGHT UP SUPER INTERVIEW! ASE
Delightful presentation all round, especially Simon Callow. Thank you!
She was quite remarkable. In the end it all comes down to religion, if a religion is true it must clothe and direct your entire life. Sometimes it takes a lifetime to suddenly realise, a life full of regret, of sin, which has not yet accomplished its desired victory over you. We go on. CHRIST IS KING, HIS HOLY MOTHER IS QUEEN.
Alexander Pope ❤

We were enjoying this until about 34 minutes in you just couldn't resist attacking Trump. I can't even watch a program on Alexander Pope without having someone stick a knife in me. Don't bother writing nasty reactions to this comment. I won't see them. And I will not watch any other Shaftesbury Productions.
Masonry.
Moral backbone and courage, combined with high intellect. She embodies the difference between a mere politician and a statesman/stateswoman. We are in dire need of the latter in our troubled times.
FABULOUS
Yes i watched more than half.why does everyone think a writer needs to be analysed.He wrote the fiction ,we read and all have different views.enjoy or not.

It's really wierd to think that it was within my lifetime that the elites still behaved/spoke like this...it makes me feel ancient
Yes me too!
Apparently, Laurens Van Der Post fathered a daughter to a 14-year-old child and did his utmost to keep it secret. It came out eventually, but the mainstream media were strangely reticent and wouldn't talk about it openly, probably because LVDP had been a kind of guru to the now King Charles III in his younger days. What a shame, but not surprising that Charles III has yet another black mark against his legacy to go with Savile and all the others, including his younger brother.

Great vid by the BBC. "Act well your part, there all the honour lies"
Intenso
she was quite a personage.
Just Wonderful ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hello from Lecce South Italy. I am crazy For Alexander Pope 😊❤
Worthy of all praise, but his great God whom he honored, far more.
❤
🎉🎉🎉They're both so intelligent wow love their #Life #Philosophy🎉🎉🎉
I got an A in my English class in college because I fell in love with Alexander Pope.
A very engaging and entertaining documentary!
Turned-up your noses at Trump, but not ALZHEIMER'S BIDEN!?🐔 Pope would protest the degenerate, woke, cancel-culture spirit of our unhinged age
This video is an excellent production and fine experience. The actors and scholars are superb.
I can’t stand her - but Jesus she’s so so much better than any of the politicians now. She answers questions!
Just fascinating, so glad she did these documentaries so we can still hear her stories
Ellen Burstyn is the most exhilierating woman of all time and I love her much too much the most classiest woman .q my favorite woman of all time.. I really enjoy watching her all the time. " wants to meet one day."Best woman of all . I ❤ u Ellen kisses.👅👅👅👅 wug u woof woof.
It gives a real flavour of her personality and outlook, more rounded than the stereotypes that pervade her image.
A fantastic documentary combing experts' comments with dramatic impersonation of Pope and his contemporaries. I particulary enjoy the stunning performance of the two actors who play the role of Alexander Pope and SamuelJohnson. The narrator's voice is so charming.!
Grazie 🙏 ❤
Grazie 🙏

So underrated. Needs more props
WHAT A TITAN !!!!! WHAT A GENIUS !!! WHAT AN ARTIST !!!!!! Glorious music poured out of this man, all his life ! His music has enriched my life for over 50 years. I personally consider Kiri Te Kanawa,s rendition of the 4 last songs the most glorious....what heights !!! Words fail me to describe my connection to Richard Strauss...It is too much for me....now, at 74, a lot of things are heightened, as time is passing.....German music... Ah !!! Bruckner, Brahms, Mahler....and RICHARD STRAUSS !!!!
So utterly beautiful and true - this interview is as relevant today as it was all those years ago. What a stunningly honest and deep man Lauren’s van der Post was.
And now the world has denigrated to the likes of Biden!
My love of poetry started with Pope.
Pope is Fantastic 😊❤
A very interesting insight into her mentality and outlook. Very much imbued with a kind of quasi Victorian nationalism that was somewhat dated back in the 1980s and looks and sounds very odd to modern ears.
Ellen...you beatiful
