Lord of the Flies

Adventure Thriller Drama

1963, Movie, 1h 32min

In the hands of the renowned experimental theater director Peter Brook, William Golding’s legendary novel about the primitivism lurking beneath civilization becomes a film as raw and ragged as the lost boys at its center. Taking an innovative documentary-like approach, Brook shot LORD OF THE FLIES with an off-the-cuff naturalism, seeming to record a spontaneous eruption of its characters’ ids. The result is a rattling masterpiece, as provocative as its source material.

Stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash, a group of schoolboys must fend for themselves and create their own society. Initially, they try to maintain a sense of order and civility, but as time passes and no rescue appears, their behavior becomes increasingly savage and primitive. The group splits into factions, with one boy, Jack, leading a violent and hunting-obsessed tribe, while another boy, Ralph, tries to keep the peace and maintain a sense of reason. As tensions rise and the boys' behavior becomes more erratic, a series of tragic events unfolds, ultimately leading to a devastating confrontation between the two groups. This critically acclaimed adaptation of William Golding's classic novel explores the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of unchecked aggression and violence.
