Treasure Island
It’s summer on a leisure park in the Paris suburbs. A land of adventures, flirting and transgression for some, a place to hide out or take a break for others. With its beach and its hidden nooks and crannies, it’s like a childhood kingdom waiting to be explored, resonating with the turmoil of today’s society.
-- Dir. Guillaume Brac - 96min - 2018 - France --
"invites its audience to immerse itself in total serenity, like a sort of amniotic bath at the heart of an epic egalitarian social melting pot....further confirming Guillaume Brac’s delicate talent" - Cineuropa
"Whimsical... Frederick Wiseman’s institutional approach meets a pop sensibility in “Treasure Island,” which is content to privilege leisure over sharp insight." - Roger Ebert Reviews
"Guillaume Brac crafts a film that is, like its subjects, as wild and free as the summer breeze. Treasure Island is a cinematic marvel, capturing simple jubilance, exotic revelations, and forays into the unknown." - True/False
"Guillaume Brac’s dreamy wandering through a water park heads into darker waters....it is like waking up from a carefree dream into a hostile reality; an artificial dream surrounded by borders and barriers, a microcosm of our world." - Sight and Sound
