Lindsay Anderson intensified and questioned the revolutionary—and anarchic—imagination of 1968’s social and political unrest in his allegorical film If.…, which charts a youth rebellion against an oppressive boarding school in England. The film surges with the energies of youth counterculture even as it seriously questions the effects of trying to overthrow the establishment. Winner of the coveted Palme d’Or prize at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival, If…. is a film relentlessly of its moment. Contains mature content, including nudity, violence, and drug use.
