Film based on the novel, directed by famed theater director Peter Brook. Stark b&w film and barren setting complement boys' inner emptiness.

Not on par with the book, but good in its own right.

It’s a bit slow, but very deep. It shows the importance of power in a society. It makes you think a lot. Even philosophical.

Oh, what Kubrick could have done with this. As is, it's quite bloody good 3.5☆'s. No bollocks. Kill the pig! Slit her throat! Bash it in!

A good adaptation movie while some significant parts are either neglected or superficially portrayed.
