Additional InformationFilmed at the time of the 1968 student uprising in Paris, Lindsay Anderson's IF.... is one of the seminal films of the era of student revolt. The characters' direct psychological and emotional displays are an allegory for how individuals must either conform to or rebel against the autocratic authority that is imposed upon them in the face of a class-driven society. The microcosm for this allegory in IF... is College House, a typical English boarding school for boys 11-18 years of age. Malcolm McDowell makes a powerful debut in the role of Mick Travis, a student in his junior year who becomes the leader of a student rebellion. The students are rebelling against the system which allows senior prefects to control and discipline younger students--through physical beatings--for infractions of the schools arcane and arbitrary rules. When Mick is disciplined by the Seniors for his "bad attitude" he is punished in a harrowing scene which does not romanticize the violence he endures.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Divided into chapters with on-screen titles, Anderson methodically shows Mick's transition from adolescent rebelliousness--growing a moustache--to more serious revolt. Anderson uses surrealism, in a style similar to that of Bunuel or even Monty Python. For instance, the headmaster keeps the school chaplain in a large drawer in his office. Clearly inspired by Jean Vigo's ZERO FOR CONDUCT, IF. . . manages to give a realistic, unsentimental view of English public school life, while connecting--largely through McDowell's wonderfully sympathetic portrait of anguished youth--to the theme of personal freedom vs. social order.
ReviewsThe Guardian - This is the High European classic that is also quintessentially English., Time Out - A modern classic., TimeOut - A modern classic in which Anderson minutely captures both the particular ethos of a public school and the general flavour of any structured community., The Observer - Confirms its status as a classic, a movie of real authority., Film4 - Amongst the greatest British films of the post-war years., Empire - Ifà is both exhilarating and depressing. It shows us what British movies could be like if only Anderson were still around to put a rocket up them.

Delicious time travel for the rebellious baby-boomer.
Hadn't watched this for years and seeing it again took me right back to my rather rebellious youth. The DVD also contains a very interesting interview with the lovely Graham Crowden (history teacher) telling how he got along with Lindsay Anderson during the shoot. Aah! How those boyhood dreams came flooding back.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A, period piece, well worth a revisit.
I saw this back when it was released in the late 60s.... It is more odd than I remember but a fascinating reprise of the English Publib School, to someone educated in Scotland.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

I recommend this film to everyone. It is highly entertaining with brilliant characters, and a brilliant script
This is a classic film of the 1960,s. It is funny, surreal, satirical but also covers serious points. It was a film of its time, but still relevant today. The ending is amazingly unique.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

If... only.
School days have changed so much but memories, like the imagination of the characters in if, remain. Evocative film if you were at school during that era.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
