L'Île au trésor (Treasure Island)
Regie: Raúl Ruiz; Drehbuch: Raúl Ruiz nach dem Roman von Robert Louis Stevenson; Kamera: Acácio de Almeida; Schnitt: Rodolfo Wedeles, Valeria Sarmiento; Musik: Jorge Arriagada; Darsteller*innen: Melvil Poupaud, Martin Landau, Anna Karina, Jean-Pierre Léaud. FR/GB/US, 1986, DCP (von 35mm), Farbe, 117 min. Englisch/Französisch mit engl. UTStevenson's classic, with its motifs prominent in so many Ruiz films, is transposed to a mythic present in this meta-adaptation. Jim Hawkins is doubly represented in this perverse universe: once as an adult author and narrator (Jean-Pierre Léaud), and a second time as a child (Melvil Poupaud) to whom even his mother promises no protection. The adult players torture each other and relentlessly abuse the child in a giant game of a treasure map designed on the basis of Stevenson's book and modern game theory. "I'm not playing anymore!" is the phrase that achieves liberation after endless entanglements. (R.W.)
