The best Treasure Island ever made. They just don't make films
like this anymore, or ever. No one makes films like this. More
than a novelty, this film is funny, frank and fascinating, yet moody,
mysterious and morose. This is one of my favorite pictures. The
director must have had some idea what it is all about, but he
certainly leaves room for your own impressions and interpretations, while leaving little left to the imagination. Why he
has not made more films like this, I have no idea. While
reminding me of some of the best noir, it is one of a kind. But this
is not for the lazy or simple.
