Poetics of Cinema

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 leads 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 Raoul Ruiz's film, Treasure Island, made in 1984, In Pursuit of Treasure Island presents itself as the follow-up, or rather a pursuit, of Stevenson's novel. It is 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.

In Pursuit of Treasure Island

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.
