Review of if.... (1968) by Jc C — 23 Aug 2007
Directed by Lindsay Anderson, a prime mover of British New Wave Cinema, If.... proves to be something of a universal fantasy.Sporting less of a plot than a series of crazily inventive, titled vignettes (comparable to those from Jean Vigo's 1933 film Zero De Conduite, which partly inspired the filmmakers), If.
... blends English surrealism with a near-documentary style realism to astonishing effect. Malcolm McDowell considers If... his finest film. He may be right.
