The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe Who Lived for Twenty and Eight Years all Alone on an Inhabited Island and Said It Was His

Surrealist, subversive and irreverent, Benjamin Deboosere’s new film rewrites the story of Robinson Crusoe and the colonialist myth of the white man bringing civilization to a land he takes over. A critical and poetic overturning of Defoe’s novel that offers a concrete and political view of imperialism through a cast composed entirely of black actresses. Fascinating vistas and dreamlike landscapes embellish the film, placing a pulsating animal and plant universe alongside the anthropocentric perspective.
