Theodor W. Adorno

"Proust Palimpsesto: Pastiches e Misturas" (2026) is a Brazilian experimental documentary and film essay directed by Carlos Adriano. The film, which explores the impossibility of filming Marcel Proust's "In Search of Time That Flew", is presented as a collage of archival images and theories.

Adorno is not just a theorist and philosopher, he was also a composer and student of Alban Berg in Vienna. The text of the short song goes: “What’s driving there, on a cart and stretches out his long trunk?/ It is a mammoth! It is a mammoth! It is a mammoth which wants to go home.”
