Description

Lord Of The Flies

Based on William Golding's classic novel, Lord of the Flies is a disturbing tale of conflict and savagery. A plane carrying a group of schoolboys crashes on a remote tropical island.

No adults survive but forty boys emerge unhurt. Under their elected leader, Ralph (James Aubrey, Spy Game), the boys try to preserve their social discipline and survive, but Jack (Tom Chapin), the head of a group of choirboys, starts a battle for leadership and the boys divide into two rival groups. Jack's gang – the Hunters – become progressively more savage.

The more primitive they become, the more they terrorise Ralph's gang – with tragic consequences.

Critic Reviews:

  • " For all that time has changed the way it fits into the world, Lord Of The Flies remains as important today as it was in 1963. The quality of the restored version is excellent. Don't wait too long to see it. " – Jennie Kermode
  • " There is no Swiss Family Robinson, Gilligan's Island or even Lost underlying positive feeling in Lord of the Flies. Brooks (after Golding) shoots for a pessimistic theme even colder than that of Conrad's Hearts of Darkness. " – J.C. Maçek III
  • " No matter how many years one is removed from the reading of Golding's book for school, its portrait of youth gone wild remains burned in the brain, and a viewing of Brook's cinematic take only serves to bring those thoughts to the surface once again. " – Matt Brunson
