Blue Island
Wikipedia
Blue Island ( Italian title Due gocce d'acqua salata) is a 1982 film directed by Luigi Russo (going under the pseudonym John Wilder) and Enzo Doria, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Dardano Sacchetti. Filmed in the Seychelles, it stars Fabio Meyer, Mario Pedone and Sabrina Siani. Like the film Paradise of the same year, it was inspired by the success of the 1980 release The Blue Lagoon.
Blue Island is a 1988 novel by the French writer Jean Raspail. The narrative is set in Touraine during World War II, where a charismatic boy gathers his friends on an island, where they play war games which become increasingly more interlinked with reality. The book was published in English in 1991, translated by Jeremy Leggatt.
The book was adapted into the 2001 television film L'Île bleue. The film was directed by Nadine Trintignant.
