Plot Sypnosis:
If…., directed by Lindsay Anderson (This Sporting Life), is a daringly
chaotic vision of British society, set in a boarding school in
late-sixties England. Before Kubrick made his mischief iconic in A
Clockwork Orange, Malcolm McDowell made a hell of an impression as the
insouciant Mick Travis, who, along with his school chums, trumps
authority at every turn, finally emerging as a violent savior against
the vicious games of one-upmanship played by both students and
masters. Mixing color and black and white as audaciously as it mixes
fantasy and reality, If…. remains one of cinema’s most unforgettable
rebel yells.
