Lord Of The Flies - The Criterion Collection

Blu-ray
$36.99
THE MOST INDELIBLE ADAPTATION OF THE CLASSIC NOVEL, IN A NEW SPECIAL EDITION!
In the hands of the renowned experimental theatre 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 centre. 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.
Special Features:
- New, restored 4K digital film transfer, supervised by cameraman and editor Gerald Feil, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack
- Audio commentary featuring director Peter Brook, producer Lewis Allen, director of photography Tom Hollyman, and Feil
- Audio recordings of William Golding reading from his novel Lord of the Flies, accompanied by the corresponding scenes from the film
- Deleted scene, with optional commentary and reading by Golding
- Interview with Brook from 2008
- Collection of behind-the-scenes material, featuring home movies, screen tests, outtakes, and stills
- New interview with Feil
- Excerpt from Feil's 1972 documentary The Empty Space, showcasing Brook's theatre methods
- Something Queer in the Warehouse, a piece composed of never-before-seen footage shot by the boy actors during production, with new voice-over by Tom Gaman, who played Simon

- PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Geoffrey Macnab and an excerpt from
