Senor Bunuel has done it again. He takes Defoe's classic and transforms it into a very Bunuel movie. At first glance this strangely straightforward retelling of the famous tale looks like any ordinary movie. However, those paying close attention to the story will notice Bunuel's peculiar touches all over the place. Don Luis doesn't waste anytime questioning human's seemly inherently bad nature, but this time around he is surprisingly compassionate in his criticism. The arrival of "servant" Friday provides the filmmaker with some well-chosen pokes at the human race, but we can sense an air of optimism that is absent from Bunuel's subsequent films. Two surreal sequences add to the fun (just try to figure out what they mean!). Not one of the master's best, but a very pleasant movie. My favorite moment: the discussion about "sin" between Crusoe and Friday. Recommended.
