The Original Lost Boys
"Lord of the Flies" is Peter Brook's adaptation of the William Golding novel, a staple of high school English classes. The film is the first of two big-screen versions, this one in black and white. A color version was made in 1990, but the Brook version is definitive.<br /><br />A plane crashes near a deserted island and all the adults die. A group of English schoolboys, ages 10 to 12, survive and hope to be rescued. They establish a makeshift but initially workable government that soon degenerates into anarchy. Tribal strife occurs based on class differences and a power play ensues as the boys evolve from decent kids to savage survivalists.<br /><br />Director Brook strived for a documentary look and selected for his cast mostly British boys who had grown up with structure, parental guidance, and societal law to reflect the characters in Golding's novel. On location without parents, the boys loosened up. A lot of the action was improvised.<br /><br />The film metaphorically illustrates what happens when civilization breaks down and man's true nature is revealed. Because the boys are stranded in a tropical paradise, they have plenty to eat, fresh water, and a temperate climate, so the dissolution of morality is planted squarely on human flaws and frailty and the lack of moral leadership rather than solely on environment.<br /><br />The Blu-ray edition contains audio commentary by Peter Brook, audio recordings of William Golding reading from the novel, a 2008 interview with Brook, never-before-seen footage, and a booklet featuring a critical essay.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : In the hands of the renowned experimental theater director Peter Brook, William Golding’s legendary novel on 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..
