Our take

A quixotic fable loosely inspired by Daniel Defoe’s novel, this lyrical, liberatory film was made by the French filmmaker Jean-Daniel Pollet. Tu imagines Robinson, which was presented at the Directors’ Fortnight in 1969, is a clarion call for freedom that questions our perception of reality.
