SYNOPSIS: 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.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  The original, and many say probably the best version of Lord of the Flies.  This DVD is packed with extras, including audio commentary by director Peter Brook, excerpts from the novel, a deleted scene, home movies and outtakes of "boys being boys", and so much more!  This version has fully restored picture and sound (outstanding picture quality).  For many of the boys, Lord of the Flies was the only film they would ever appear in.  James Aubrey, who plays Ralph, is the only exception.  His appeared in the big-budget American film Spy Game (2001), with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt.  Prior to that James appeared in 12 more films following Lord of the Flies.
