Movie Description Based on a classic novel by Marcel Proust, SWANN'S WAY tells the provocative tale of a wealthy society gentleman (Jeremy Irons) who risks everything for his obsession with a promiscuous courtesan (Ornella Muti). Volker Schlondorff (THE TIN DRUM) directs this lavish period drama with grace and beauty, and Irons is his usual superb self, portraying a truly tormented soul with heartbreaking sincerity.
Synopsis Based on Marcel Proust's novel, a period film depicting the obsessive love of Charles Swann -- a Parisian, Jew -- for the fashionable Odette de Crecy. As Swann's jealous passion begins to overpower his rationale, his position in high society begins to deteriorate. When Swann at last obtains the hand of his beloved, his love for her has exhausted itself, leaving him with an empty marriage and social alienation.
