| Lord of the Flies is famed theater director Peter Brook’s daring translation of William Golding’s brilliant novel. The story of 30 English schoolboys stranded on an uncharted island at the start of the “next” war, Lord of the Flies is a seminal film of the New American Cinema and a fascinating anti-Hollywood experiment in location filmmaking. As the cast relived Golding’s frightening fable, Brook found the cinematic “evidence” of the author’s terrifying thesis: there is a beast in us all. |

Criterion does it right. The original print which the
transfer was taken is from a 35mm 'answer print', which in turn was made
from the original negative. It is very strong with excellent contrast.
there are moments when damage shows, but overall better than could
possibly be hoped for. Original audio is clean. Excellent subtitles and
a host of extras. Beautiful and poignant film given its fair due by the
greatest DVD production company in the world. One of their best...
