	The ballad of Corto Maltese. Ivan Pintor
		Corto Maltese -as he was known- surfaced five years later, in 1904, at the height of the Russo-Japanese War in Manchuria, accompanied by a young reporter called Jack London; at 26 he was rescued in the Pacific after being tied to a plank and thrown into the sea by a mutinous crew.
		A grossly simplifying approach to the stories of Corto Maltese reveals the striking modernity of the tension between the impermanence of what is represented and the permanence of a latent meaning linked to the use of those archetypes and resolved in a flow of narrative and graphic resources.
		Corto’s origins are a combination of circumstances such as the absence of his father, the paltry legacy of a copy of Stevenson’s Treasure Island, or his mother’s genealogy, which relates Maltese to La Belle Zélie portrayed by Ingres.

	Corto Maltese
		Corto Maltese was still one of my points of reference but I had never thought about it in terms of direction …
		Therefore, we soon opted for “Corto Maltese in Siberia” where Corto and Rasputin are definite characters and live in a very intense historical period rich of remarkable events.
		Corto does not believe (or, at least, not wholly) to the business he is offered.

	Corto Maltese review
		This adaptation of the adventures of Corto Maltese, a mythical figure of comics, risks disappointing the neophytes.
		The son of a British officer and a Spanish gypsy, Corto is not only crossing the path of future great historic figures, from Jack London to Joseph Stalin (then called Djougatchvili) and Butch Cassidy.
		The adventure brought to the big screen is inspired by one of his best books, Corto Maltese in Siberia.

	The Italian Almanac - Corto Maltese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Corto Maltese - "the sailor without a ship" - is the most famous character created by the Italian artist Hugo Pratt (1927-1995).
		The age to which Corto belonged - roughly, the first three decades of the 20th Century - was a time of great change and upheaval.
		In the midst of all this turmoil, but still at the same time seemingly always at the fringes of the great events, the adventurer (and self-proclaimed "gentleman of fortune") Corto Maltese is constantly seeking new horizons, and exploring the borders of western civilization - both in the geographical as well as an ontological sense.

	Paul Gravett: Article - Hugo Pratt
		It seems Corto was born in 1887 in La Valletta in Malta, which gave him his name (Frank Miller named a country after him in Dark Knight Returns as a tribute).
		In 1919 Corto winds up in another hot spot, the Trans-Siberian railway, where he is mistakenly shot down by an armoured train and presented to the Russian Duchess in control of its cargo of gold.
		The graphic novel Corto In Siberia was made into a moody colour animated feature film in 2002, while over the years Antonio Banderas, Christopher Lambert and Viggo Mortensen have all been in the running to play Corto in a live-action movie or TV series.

	The Color In Mind: Corto Maltese
		In Pratt's story, Corto Maltese is first met tied to a raft in the South Pacific.
		In the Hollywood version, Corto must be central to the action, but Corto is frequently gone, or not the key character in many scenes of the epic (he is wounded and out of action for a good deal of the "second act").
		The central relationship between Corto Maltese and the young teen girl (whom some critics say is the central character of the story) has been made "stronger" in Morelli's words.

	WIRED TEMPLES - Malta on the Web: Corto Maltese
		Camila Medina in her cinema focused Portugese blog today writes about the French film based on the fascinating adventures of the 'Corto Maltese', the fictional sailor born in Malta.
		The character created by Italian writer Hugo Pratt is very popular in France, Belgium and Italy but virtually unknown in his 'native' country (and in the anglo-saxon world) where children are usually restricted to reading books that are popular in the UK (thankfully Malta has it's own children's literature author Trevor Zahra).
		Maltese audiences have been deprived of the exploits of this open minded treasure-hunter and risk taker for far too long.

		I am a big Corto Maltese and Hugo Pratt fun and in a way a cinephile.
		It only captures very small parts of Corto's character and the general mysticism normally surrounding this hero and his adventures.
		Overall, not a movie that I would see again (despite my love for Corto) but not one that I would totally reject.
