In Pursuit of Tresor Island

"Behind each children's book, behind each bestseller, a sacred text is hidden. Stevenson's novel has been scrutinized, read and re-read a thousand times. It has been used as a model for a map that lead us in search of an island where a cave that represented the sky was located. And in that sky, the stars and planets were represented by diamonds, real diamonds..." Both a prelude and a continuation to Raul Ruiz's film, Treasure Island, made in 1984, this text presents itself as the follow up, or rather, a pursuit of Stevenson's novel. A formidable example of the way Ruiz parodies the text and plunges the story inside the story, before losing the reader in a labyrinth of strange images.

Prélude et prolongement du film L'Île au Trésor que Raoul Ruiz réalisa en 1984, ce texte se veut la suite, ou plutôt la poursuite, du roman de Stevenson. Un formidable exemple de la manière avec laquelle Ruiz parodie et met en abyme le récit, avant de perdre son lecteur dans un labyrinthe d'images insolites.
