Criterion's August Releases Announced | News | Film @ The Digital Fix "Lord of the Flies, the 1963 celebrated British film adaptation of William Golding's novel about schoolboys marooned on an island where they become savages, is released on 28 August. In the hands of the renowned experimental theatre director Peter Brook, William Golding's legendary novel about 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.
"Satyajit Ray is regarded by cineastes as one of the greatest filmmakers of the 20th century and one of his most important works, The Music Room about the decadence of the Indian aristocracy, joins The Criterion Collection UK on 7 August. Satyajit Ray brilliantly evokes the crumbling opulence of the world of a fallen aristocrat (the beloved actor Chhabi Biswas) desperately clinging to a fading way of life. His greatest joy is the music room in which he has hosted lavish concerts over the years-now a shadow of its former vivid self. An incandescent depiction of the clash between tradition and modernity, and a showcase for some of India's most popular musicians of the day, The Music Room is a defining work by the great Bengali filmmaker.

I've been patiently waiting for Lord of the Flies to come out. Great film.

Cool, I was just about to pull the trigger on the US release of Lord of the Flies but now it becomes a much cheaper purchase. Agree its a great movie of a great book.

There is a 1990 version as well which is more Americanised but the original film is really good, I'd recommend it. Perhaps you can rent the DVD from LoveFilm before the CC comes out.

I would do that if I still had a Lovefilm account, but I cancelled it when I started my degree course in January. I'll either wait until I have completely finished uni, which will be in December, or pick up the Criterion Collection disc as a blind buy.

I've not seen it since watching it at school in English, after we'd read the book as a class. I do remember enjoying it though. Incidentally, Stephen King named his fictional town of Castle Rock after the mountain fort from this film/book

… And the film and TV production company founded by Rob Reiner and others was named after Stephen King's fictional town.
