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.

This is the best Crusoe I've ever seen.

The film in its simple telling, without sentimentality, evokes a feeling of awe.
