Jean Mauvais

Toplumun kurallarıyla boğuşan, cinsellik ve özgürlüklerinin karmaşasına düşen karakterlerle dolu, birbirine muğlak derecelerde bağlı olan bölümlerden oluşan bir Bunuel filmi. Filmde, bir yemek masası çevresinde klozetlere oturmuş insanların kimsenin görmediği yerlere çekilip yemek yemek için özürlerle sofradan kalkmaları gibi sahneler mevcut. Komik ve çılgın öğelerin bulunduğu filmde, Luis Bunuel sürrealistliğini doyasıya ortaya çıkarmıştır. Onlarca başyapıt çıkarmış bir yönetmenin en sıradışı çalışmalarından biri * bunuel: ironi ve absürtlük... toplumu yerden yere vurarak eleştiren, bitirmediği, yarım bıraktığı hikayeler ile insanı meraktan çıldırtan bir film * İnsanların özgürlüğü aradıkları ama onun anlamını bilmedikleri ve daha çok ondan korkmaları... Sahnelerde hep ters ilişki var, burada asıl özgürlük bir hayalet gibi (komünist manifestonun giriş bölümünde böyle bir hayalet benzetmesi yapılmakta) küçük burjuva ve konfor arayışındaki insanların arasında sadece geziniyor.

A live-action six-part West German/French adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel. Although not directly faithful, it is a highly liberal and stylised re-imagining that blends the pirate adventure with the popular genre of the time: the Euro-Western. In place of the novel's 18th-century setting is a distinct 19th-century 'Wild West' with cowboy style wardrobe and firearms. The central premise remains: a young man, Jim Hawkins, comes into possession of a treasure map and embarks on a voyage to a remote island.
