I Will Survive

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2020)

Yet another movie that has recently become eerily prophetic anticipating life under lockdown is this long but effective remake of 'Robinson Crusoe on Mars' (1964), with Matt Damon forced to endure seventies disco music in confinement the way Roger Livesey had endured nineteenth century French comic opera in 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp'.
It faithfully follows both the look and mood of the original, but with the addition of scenes back on Earth creating a ticking clock to generate suspense of the sort only too familiar to anyone who's ever had to instal a feature on their laptop or iPad while being directed by phone.
