Reviews

shane013a-1 Upon leaving the theater after see If....for the first time I too was stunned, shocked..blown away. Never before had such an ending played across the big screen in front of me without the mandatory "fix"....society or good will out. Now it's old hat. Art house fans will love its drawn out scenes and its well place inanities. Youngsters will abhor all of the above. The beat goes on.

Vonia If.... (1968) Director: Lindsay Anderson Watched: February 2018 5/10 Young Alex DeLarge, Social and political, Random black and white, Some inspiring scenes and laughs, But confused and unimpressed. Tanka, literally "short poem", is a form of poetry consisting of five lines, unrhymed, with the 5-7-5-7-7 syllable format. #Tanka #PoemReview #Palmed'Or

duffjerroldorg I was in a sort of daze for hours after seeing If...for the first time in 2017. A work of art? Certainly but also a poetic historical document. After all the film dates back to 1968. 1968! when things were really changing and youth was taking a step forward, reminding the older generation that we'll be suffering the consequences of your thoughtlessness. So move over or else. I remember my father despising this film, he call it, propaganda. Propaganda?Maybe that's why I never saw it, until now. I was really moved by the film. Malcolm McDowell is the perfect man to incarnate the revolution that was about to come. It also made me look for all of Lindsay Anderson films - Just half a dozen feature films but my God! What an extraordinary director.

gavin6942 In this allegorical story, a revolution lead by pupil Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell) takes place at an old established private school in England.This is Malcolm McDowell in his first screen role. Although his career as a whole has gone more or less downhill since the 1960s, he started out strong here and it is easy to see how he was selected to be the lead in "A Clockwork Orange" (Mick and Alex are not all that different in many ways).I must confess I had never heard of this film until seeing Marc Cousins' documentary "The Story of Film". I feel like a huge gap in my knowledge of cinema was filled by seeing this, and I cannot recommend it enough to those who want to see a key film in the era of youth in rebellion.
