In the hands of the renowned experimental theater director Peter Brook, William Goldings legendary novel about 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 Flieswith 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.
