Scene Photo Castaway
Nicolas Roeg, 1986, UK; 117m

Middle-aged Gerald Kingsland (Oliver Reed) aspires to become a modern Robinson Crusoe, and takes out a personals ad searching for a female companion (half his age) to accompany him on his tropical adventure. He finds sultry Lucy Irvine (Amanda Donohoe), whose fierce independence defies his expectations, sexual and otherwise. Throughout droughts, starvation, and infections, the couple spar away, with Roeg’s trademark visual flair taking the form of a lovely pastel exhibitionism.

PLEASE NOTE: The print of Castaway we received is medium faded, and warped in certain areas which will cause the focus to go in and out in portions of the picture. (It’s not terrible but not good.) We apologize for the problem.
