Céleste (1981)

In the tumultuous year of 1914, as men marched off to war, the renowned Marcel Proust found a companion in Céleste Albaret, a humble woman he enlisted as his caretaker. For the better part of a decade, until Proust's last breath, Céleste was his constant, only responding to his call, her life tuned to the nocturnal rhythm of his writing hours. However, their bond transcended the confines of a mere professional relationship; Céleste was his muse, her tales of yesteryears kindling his cherished recollections, inspiring his magnum opus. She becomes his partner in a delicate dance of manipulation, helping him extract the essence of characters for his manuscript from the unsuspecting society. Yet, she can't help but flinch at his graphic chronicles of Paris's seedy underbelly. As Proust races against the inevitability of death to complete his masterpiece, Céleste's existence is woven into a narrative of profound affection and unwavering dedication.
