Directed by Lindsay Anderson, If.... (1968) is a British drama set within a strict boarding school where growing rebellion and institutional oppression push a group of students toward violent resistance. Starring Malcolm McDowell, the film blends satire, political themes and surreal imagery in its portrayal of authority, conformity and youth revolt. The film won the Palme dOr at the Cannes Film Festival and became one of the defining British counterculture films of the 1960s. Combining social commentary with psychological and political themes, it remains one of the most influential works of British cinema from the era.

Eureka - Masters of Cinema

Legendary director Lindsay Anderson expanded on the social outrage and intense character focus of his debut This Sporting Life with If…., a combustible tale of teenage insurrection. Winner of the 1969 Palme dOr at Cannes, If…. was a popular triumph and instantly recognised as a classic.

The film is a caustic portrait of a traditional boys boarding school, where social hierarchy reigns supreme and power remains in the hands of distanced and ineffectual teachers and callously vicious prefects. But three junior pupils, led by Mick Travis (played by Malcolm McDowell in the role that would catapult him to becoming one of Britains most iconic actors), decide on a shocking course of action to redress the balance of privilege once and for all.

Packed to bursting with its directors customary passion and experimentation, If…. remains one of cinemas quintessential tales of rebellion, a radical snapshot of late 60s change, and one of the towering achievements of British film in any era. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this masterpiece in a new Blu-ray edition.
