Product description

Product Description

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

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 (
Malcolm McDowell in the role that would catapult him to becoming one of Britain's 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 director's customary passion and experimentation,
If.... remains one of cinema's 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.

    Enfin je met la main sur cet excellent film! Le Blu-ray est moins cher que le DVD... curieux mais je valide ! Dommage que la VF soit introuvable mais c'est pas grave ! Malcom Mc Dowell de orange mécanique dans un très bon rôle !! À posséder pour tout cinéphile qui se respecte !!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Dated but worthwhile
    Reviewed in Australia on 29 June 2019
    I heard about this film when I was still at school and had long since given up on ever seeing it. However some 50 years later I found this copy and I'm pleased to have finally been able to watch it. Set in a very English school of the period, and not unlike a lot of Australian private schools of the late 60s and early 70s, there are a group of very repressed rebels without a cause, who find it very difficult to be a part of establishment. Many films have been made since If, following the same theme, but, very few that I've seen have the same sort of ending. In fact, in a post Columbine school shooting era, I doubt that anyone would even want to make a new movie like If. The special effects in the final scenes are very poor by modern standards, but effective nevertheless, and the acting can be rather wooden too, which detracts somewhat, but overall, worth chasing-up for a collection.
    So more of a movie for us old nostalgia ridden sixty-somethings but a message within that's just as valid today as it was then.

    Llevaba mucho tiempo buscando esta película, y Amazon es el mejor sitio para adquirirla. Un Malcolm McDowell brillante en uno de los títulos que cambio el cine a finales de los 70! un 10!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Premier chef d'oeuvre de Lindsay Anderson.
    Reviewed in France on 1 June 2008
    "If....", film symbolique des étudiants de 1968, où des jeunots de 17-18 ans se rebellent et se vengent dans le sang à la fin d'une année scolaire comme toutes les autres dans un lycée prestigieux de Grande Bretagne. Le film est remarquable en tout point, on notera des interprétations mémorables, répliques cultes, Malcolm McDowell, où Alexandre Delarge dans Orange mécanique nous impressione (comme d'habitude) par tant de justesse, de crédibilité dans le rôle d'un des étudiants rebelle, et là encore jouant un peu le "chef" de la bande, exactement comme dans le film de Kubrick. Une musique inoubliable, vraiment agréable à écouter, accompagnant des scènes assez poétiques, je pense notamment à la rencontre de la jeune femme qui tient le café en dehors de la ville. Les plans de Lindsay Anderson, du moins certains sont vraiments excellents, un plan calme propre et bien fixe. Là encore, la scène où les trois jeunes se font corriger par les pions est très représentative. Un plan qui angoisse le spéctateur qui lui fait comprendre que la punition sera sévère. La fin de "If...." est l'une des plus impressionantes du cinéma avec celle du Locataire de Polanski, une séquence finale téllement choquante, téllement affreuse que le spéctateur comprend que le film ne doit être reservé qu'à un certain âge, et ne doit pas être mis entre toutes les mains. Anderson réalise son premier chef d'oeuvre en 1968, qui sera courroné d'une palme d'or à Cannes en 1969. Bravo.
