Acclaimed director Chantal Akerman
becomes the latest filmmaker to take
inspiration from Marcel Proust's epic masterwork 'In Search of Lost Time'.
Adapted from the fifth volume, THE CAPTIVE tells the story of Ariane, who
lives under her lover Simon's surveillance
in a grandiose Parisian apartment.
Simon harbours an obsessional need to
know everything about her, has her
accompanied everywhere she goes and
subjects her to endless questioning.

Knowing of Ariane's attraction to women, Simon imagines that she leads a double life, which only serves to increase his desire for her.
Akerman's film is an elegantly constructed and compelling meditation on love, desire and obsession.
