the Proust movie

[Dave Monroe]

"Liked" it?  No, not really.  But, again, it had its
visually fascinating moments, and perhaps I didn't
emphasize enough that that was the only reason I'd
recommend it.  Certainly no Time Regained, much less a
Prospero's Books--and, conversely, certainly MTV, in
no small part by virtue of its director having made
his name in music video (again, R.E.M., Nirvana) and
thus having contributed TO that MTV "look"
(interesting bit of circularity there)--but I saw it
one one o' them ultra jumbo giant movie screens, so it
was all fabulously detailed and a little overwhelming.
 But do note, The Cell does feature a
sadomasochistically Dominant serial killer who
Bleaches his victims, which makes me wonder just what
whoever wrote the damn thing had been reading.  And,
again, thanks for the Duchamp/Ernst reference.  Now if
I could only score ...

Henderson, Linda Dalrymple.  Duchamp in Context.
   Princeton, NJ: Princeton UP, 1998.

... at a reasonable price.  By the author of my
favorite coffee table book, The Fourth Dimension and
Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art (q.v.) ...
