aka The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.
"You Friday. Me Master."
A man is shipwrecked on a deserted island, the only survivor, apart from a cat and a dog. Over the years he builds himself a life on the island, alone. Then one day he sees a footprint in the sand, that is not his own, and his world is shattered. He rescues a native (Jaime Fernández) from a tribe of cannibals, but with the end to his loneliness comes also comes mistrust and fear.
Although not a classic, this is a fine adaption, that foresake Buñuel's surrealist take on life, to deliver a straight up adventure, though he does slip in the odd discourse on religion and politics.
