5. Lord Of The Flies (1963) Movie Review from Eye for Film
Aug 29, 2017 · It follows a group of English public school boys shipwrecked on a topical island. Ralph (James Aubrey) seems like a natural leader.
In opening, a personal note: Lord Of The Flies is the first film that I can ever recall reviewing, three decades ago. It was four years before I turned professional; I was, appropriately enough, still at school. Returning to it now is therefore a rather different experience from most of what I do as a critic. I first related to it as something that reflected very closely what I saw around me. Time has changed not only my perspective but also the way that it fits into the world.
