Truly disappointing really. After having watched "Le Charme Discret de la Bourgeoisie" and knowing Bunuel's surrealist backgrounds, this is a major let-back. Is this film truly by Bunuel or just some unimaginative director made a movie and used Bunuel's name? Just a book-based American-ish epic for the masses with the flavor of 60's news and storyteller. The movie follows the book cutting details and stages in the development of the character. Crusoe's torment and pain are unconvincingly depicted as the film fails to get psychological or philosophical. It's like a tale for lazy children that don't want to open Defoe's book. Bunuel doesn't even throw a hint to the good savage myth and the metamorphosis of the ex-slave trader.Maybe he was too overwhelmed by alcohol's vapors at that time. 5/10
