Lord of the Flies (Blu-ray) is a haunting and powerful adaptation of William Golding’s acclaimed novel, directed by Peter Brook. First released in 1963 and now restored by the Criterion Collection, the film tells the chilling story of a group of schoolboys stranded on a deserted island who slowly descend into savagery. With a cast of non-professional actors and a raw, documentary-style approach, this version remains one of the most faithful and unsettling literary adaptations in cinema history.
