...Throughout, Aronofsky pursued his own epic, The Fountain, about a man who will do anything to save his critically ailing wife. The film was to cost near $100 million and to star Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. The original financiers dropped The Fountain when those two bowed out. (They later reunited to make Babel, in which they played virtually the same roles.)

Alain de Botton wrote a bestselling book in 1998 that explained just how the French writer, who died in 1922, can change your life. Cate Blanchett's character in The Life Aquatic attempts to read In Search of Lost Time to her unborn child. Proust is mentioned casually in so many newspaper articles that blogger Tom Tomorrow created 'Spot the Pretentious Proust Reference', a game to seek out the Proustian name-droppings in the New York Times...
