Patricio Guzman was 13 years old and a resident of Valparaiso, Chile, when he discovered Daniel Defoe’s novel, Robinson Crusoe. In 1999, he shot this film on Robinson Island, which he had long thought fictitious. This film examines the Crusoe legend and retraces the hero’s odyssey. It also recounts the film director’s own adventures…
