Reviews for Robinson Crusoe
May be the most shocking film ever made by the great filmmaker -- precisely because it isn't shocking at all.
Exiled Spanish surrealist master Luis Buñuel created a micro-budgeted but remarkably effective adaptation of Daniel DeFoe’s 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe.
The film in its simple telling, without sentimentality, evokes a feeling of awe.
A fine film with a strong central performance, although it is hardly representative of the director's trademark style.
Buñuel posits a more existential relationship between Crusoe, nature and, most significantly, the character's loneliness.
