L'île au trésor

Ruiz can be different and mesmerize you. "Memory is like a diamond" is a quote from this fascinating adaptation, suited more for reflective adults than for kids. Steeped in philosophy and literary asides. The best performance from the late Martin Landau. Amazing line up of actors and actresses--including Mrs Jean Luc Godard. Demands repeated viewings, as any work of Ruiz, to savor all its juices. R L Stevenson merely provides a skeleton, the body comes from Ruiz.
