In the fifth published title of our Decadent Editions series, Christine Smallwood explores Chantal Akerman’s adaptation of Marcel Proust’s The Prisoner, the fifth volume of In Search of Lost Time, in a text that moves elegantly between Akerman’s films, Proust’s novel, and Smallwood’s own life. ‘Christine Smallwood creates both a portrait of Akerman and her films – the most illuminating I’ve read – and a portrait of herself.’ Joanna Hogg ‘Smallwood’s La Captive is a delightful, engrossing book. Her study of Chantal Akerman’s film is profound, entwining Akerman’s and Proust’s resonant themes: mothers and daughters and sons, love and loss, passion and passivity, freedom, obsession, and time. A beautiful, masterful work that miraculously marries art to life, life to art.’ Lynne Tillman 在我們第五本的奢靡系列出版物中，Christine Smallwood探究了La Captive這套Chantal Akerman改編自普魯斯特的小說著作《追憶逝水年華》內第五卷《囚徒》的電影，文本優雅地於Akerman的電影、普魯斯特的小說及Smallwood自己的生命之間游走。 「Christine Smallwood既創作了Akerman及其電影的肖像（我讀過最具啟發性的作品），也創作了她自己的肖像。」Joanna Hogg 「Smallwood的La Captive是一本嘗心悅目、引人入勝的書。她對Akerman電影的研究意義深邃，將Akerman和普魯斯特的共鳴主題交織：母親、女兒和兒子; 愛與失落、激情與消極、自由、痴迷和時間。一部美麗而精湛的作品，奇蹟般地將藝術與生活、生活與藝術結合。 About the film In Chantal Akerman’s contemporary adaptation of The Prisoner, the fifth volume of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, a wealthy young man lives with his girlfriend in his opulent Paris apartment. As obsession begets deceit inside the claustrophobic cage they call love, it becomes ever more difficult to distinguish the captive from the captor. 關於這部電影 在Chantal Akerman 對普魯斯特《追憶逝水年華》第五卷《囚徒》的當代改編中，一位富有的青年和他的女友住在他位於巴黎的豪華公寓裡。這個在他們稱之為愛的幽閉籠牢裡, 當癡迷引致欺騙時，要分別出俘虜和俘虜, 只會變得越加困難。
