ROBINSON CRUSOE ISLAND
(ISLA DE ROBINSON CRUSOE)
1999, Patricio Guzmán, Chile, 45 min.

In MADRID, Guzmán returns to the city of his student days for an affectionate evocation of a metropolis he clearly loves with a passion for its ancient ways and the hedonistic streak of its people. Food, flamenco, and more food hold the eye in this warm portrait of Madrileños in their natural habitat. Part personal adventure, part film meditation, ROBINSON CRUSOE ISLAND is Guzmán’s exploration of a place he had assumed since childhood to be a fictional creation, the island depicted in Daniel Defoe’s novel Robinson Crusoe, which actually exists off the coast of Chile. Both in Spanish with English subtitles. DigiBeta video. (BS)
