Proust's Within a Budding Grove

Did anyone else notice how the last half of this film (from the point Laurent goes to the Health spa up until before the incest) is practically a film adaptation of Within a Budding Grove, Vol. 2 of In Search of Lost Time?

I mean, perhaps homage would be more appropriate, but it's amazing how similar they are. It's as if we are seeing a heightened, more sexualized version of the truth of the Narrator's emotions in Within a Budding Grove, but they are the same emotions, nonetheless.

I mean the Health Spa clearly equals Balbec. The Narrator was ill as a child and goes to Balbec for respite, and the Health Spa is essentially the same thing.

Helene is the adapted version of Albertine. I realized that, subconsciously, when I read Within a Budding Grove, I imagined Laurent and Helene's faces in the scenes talking about Balbec. And Helene's friendship group, although not explicitly female is much like the group of Andree and the others, his little nucleus before the Guermantes nucleus.

The scene where Laurent tries to have sex with Helene is very similar to the scene with Albertine and the Narrator's pursuit of a kiss.

And then, although mostly in Swann's Way, the Narrator expresses an adoration for his mother that is continued and is more profound toward his grandmother, who takes him to Balbec.

I mean, obviously Murmur of the Heart is a very original screenplay, but much of the latter half I feel is borrowed from Proust and likely intentionally. I wondered if anyone else noticed the same thing.

Also, I can't help but feel that a vast part of the beginning plays like a more Catholic-centric 400 Blows. After all, Antoine Doinel also loved his mother with an affection bordering on the Oedipal, and the whole mother's affair thing is the same.

Anyway, I don't mean to discount Malle's work in any way, I just wanted to acknowledge what I believe to be the source material for much of what happens in Murmur of the Heart, beyond the autobiographical aspect.
