Time Regained: “Like Kissing Snow”

“Like Kissing Snow” Confoundment would be too subtle a word to describe what my mind was traversing as I watched the movie, the whole and entire film that is. Had I read any Proust, watched any other work done by Ruiz beforehand, I may have had a clue of what to look for, what to expect or what to look out for - it was utterly perplexing, absolutely baffling to my virgin eyes and ears. …

…they’re in fact even worthy of presenting us with any sort of entertainment in the first place. For the ordinary it may be; for someone who has had the pleasure to witness and soak up such magnificent work as Ruiz’s and Proust’s all at once, nevertheless, it may be too offensive a thought. Insulting. Even if we must stress ourselves to understand the dense and difficult plot. But that’s just me.
