PTA’s The Master : Clive James on Proust
“It reminds me of a sandcastle that the tide reached before its obsessed constructor could finish it; but he knew that would happen, or else why build it on the beach?”
This Clive James quote on Proust and In Search of Lost Time brings to mind PTA’s The Master in the mightiest way. Visually sure, but above all, it calls on how the film resounds as a whole: how immoderate it feels and the frustrations that come with such unwieldy dimensions and unwieldy characters, and how devoted it is to itself, but ultimately, how it does entirely mesmerize in parts. Like a botched symphony that by some means emerges more potent.
