Memory and time as a literature course sounds so interesting. The Magic Mountain feels so timeless with how the increasing chapter lengths, the moments on the mountain/sanitorium, and how characters were coming and going. I am pleased you were drawn to it since you're such a fan of In Search of Lost Time. I've only read a few novels by Virginia Woolf but i believe novels like The Waves and The Lighthouse are examples of the limits of mediums. How do you put that in film? With overlapping thoughts of consciousness in the latter and the character changing every paragraph in the former, this to me would cry out for a play or perhaps an audiobook with several speakers. Having In Search of Lost Time as a movie is a miss for me. What makes the novel special is how you feel while you read it. The story itself isn't special but the experience is entirely unique and written perfectly. I feel such warm memories and a constant nag to reread it, why would I want to condense that time in a shorter medium? Overall, very interesting video. I love when books refer to art. It adds a layer of richness when done right and it makes me want to explore the allusion if done right. When films do it or remake books, I always ask myself why they decided to do it. Then you have examples like The Shining which outshine the story on its original plane or conception.
Ideas beautifully expressed, as usual. I wonder though how time and memory in literature can be seen without Faulkner? (Especially, for me, Light In August) It's like Proust's madeleine without the warm tea, or Einstein's e=mc without the square.
@@strange.lucidity Excellent! How did the translator (into German) capture the voice and strange inner consciousness of the characters - did it succeed? And thanks so much, Maria, for sharing your journey with us. You are our literary astronaut, going to worlds we cannot reach, and reporting back.

You have become one of my favorite youtubers to watch. You have such a soothing voice and very interesting videos
ooooh, love this! adding anything I'm not familiar with to my Letterboxd watchlist in another tab as I'm watching this :)
There are at least 2 other films of Proust, most notably Chantal Akerman's intriguing version of 'The Captive'.
I really enjoyed the first part of _The Railway Man_ and thought it was very good. There is a significant angle to his experience.

We did talk about Faulkner in that course. The sound and the fury 🙂
