Lord of the Flies

DVD icon

Under the direction of Peter Brook, William Golding's fable about a swarm of young boys who, without adult supervision, devolve into chaos after crash-landing on a remote island during wartime becomes an unforgettable vision of cinematic horror. Shot with almost vérité camera work, Lord of the Flies takes a radical approach to Golding's allegory, grounding it in a terrifying reality.
