The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe / Las Aventuras de Robinson Crusoe / Mexico / 1954

If I were not aware before I watched it that it was directed by Luis Buñuel, I might not have guessed it, but since I did know, I was able to spot occasional flashes of his style. While sticking closely to the original story, he still manages to sneak in several insects, a disturbing hallucination, and even a rather amusing bomb explosion. It may be minor Buñuel, but just about all Buñuel is good Buñuel.
