Lord of the Flies (1963)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 91m
Director: Peter Brook
Cast: James Aubrey, Tom Chapin, Hugh Edwards

Synopsis:

After a plane crash a group of young boys of school age are stranded on a desert island. Forced to make grown-up decisions for themselves, they fragment into increasingly opposed groups, one for the civilized building of shelter and administration of supplies, and the other more feral hunter gatherers.

Review:

Golding's meditation on the competing impulses in Man's nature is given a stripped back treatment by Brook, in tune with his experiments in theatre. Naturalistic sound grates after a while, and the unschooled acting of the cast ultimately stymies engagement with the characters.
