Malcolm MacDowell stars in this shocking satire on life in a repressive English boarding school. Three non-conforming seniors revolt against just about everything, from the establishment to the complicit student body. After picking up a female compatriot, they set fire to the school and take aim at the fleeing mass. Anderson skillfully employs both professional and non-professional actors in building to this shattering, violent climax. Far from subtle, If.... also contrasts color sequences with clinical black-and-white passages shot by Miroslav Ondricek (Amadeus). "Established Anderson as the most influential figure to emerge from the New Cinema movement" (David A. Cook, A History of Narrative Film). Lindsay Anderson---Great Britain---1968---112 mins.
