“Brook’s film isn’t just a tale of lost innocence. It is a minutely focused case study of the behaviour of kids in the wilderness.” — Geoffrey Macnab, Criterion

NO FUTURE heads back to school with Peter Brook’s LORD OF THE FLIES (1963), the venerable British theatre director’s naturalistic and raw take on Nobel Prize winner William Golding’s classic. More than just required reading for sophomores, Golding’s novel about a group of English schoolboys who shed their uniforms and better selves after crash landing on an island holds up nicely as a searing indictment of groupthink and white civility, with the film’s gorgeous black-and-white photography casting the story’s bleak moral outlook about the next generation inheriting the violent conflicts of the old into sharp relief.
