of
schoolboys stranded on a tropical island with no adults, following a
deadly plane crash. In an attempt to remain civil they organise
themselves, led by
Ralph and supported by the group’s intellectual,
Piggy. But when Jack becomes more interested in hunting and vying for
leadership, he soon begins
to draw other boys away from the group and,
ultimately, from hope to tragedy. Set in the early 1950s on an unnamed
Pacific island – Jack Thorne’s
adaptation delves further into the book’s
emotive themes; human nature, the loss of innocence and boyhood
masculinity. Each of the four episodes is titled
after a character at
the core of the story offering a
subtly different perspective on the boys’ collective plight and manner
in which they cope with their predicament.

Un ritratto spietato e lucidissimo di come, senza regole, l’innocenza si sgretola e la ferocia diventa natura.

DeleteThat little pocky boy looks really familiar...can't remember from what film or series though. The trailer actually wasn't too bad, just too short...
ReplyDeleteBBC always makes them very short, rarely longer than 30 sec.
