6.91 h 30 min1963X-RayALL

The story of thirty 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 his daring translation of William Golding's novel, director Peter Brook found the cinematic "evidence" of the author's terrifying thesis: there is a beast in us all.
