Before Kubrick made his mischief iconic in A Clockwork Orange, Malcolm McDowell made a hell of an impression as the insouciant Mick Travis, who, along with his school chums, trumps authority at every turn, finally emerging as a violent savior against the vicious games of one-upmanship played by both students and masters. Mixing color and black and white as audaciously as it mixes fantasy and reality, If…. remains one of cinema’s most unforgettable rebel yells. Review: Fans will love this one - Fans of movies will love this one Review: Brave film-making that captured a moment - A mix of naturalism, surrealism, pitch-dark humor and social commentary in an examination of life in an upper class U.K. boarding school in the late 1960s. Terrific acting, and some unforgettable moments and visuals. Although I will admit, as much as I admire it, I'm even more enamored of Anderson and McDowell's follow up, the less known 'O Lucky Man!' - which is actually a kind of sequel. Whereas 'If...' keeps you (intentionally) at a bit of an arm's length, 'O Lucky Man!' brings you inside the madness. However, I've enjoyed 'If...' ever more with each viewing, it's flaws bothering me less, it's strengths seeming more special, it's mysteries and secrets seeming to open up. I think part of the trick is realizing and accepting that Lindsay Anderson was as much an anarchist as his main character, and some choices don't have a deep meaning other than to shake the audience out of their complacency - which is a kind of meaning in itself. A very good, historically important and influential film. If you like the challenging, unorthodox, complex movies that were a staple of the late 1960s and the 1970s then by all means you should see this. To echo what many others have said, the Criterion blu-ray is an exemplary transfer, heightening the immediacy and power of the visuals when compared to the DVD. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005152CAU | | Actors | Christine Noonan, David Wood, Malcolm McDowell, Richard Warwick, Robert Swann | | Aspect Ratio | 1.66:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #36,115 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #3,157 in Drama Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (83) | | Director | Lindsay Anderson | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | CRRN2041BR | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | Blu-ray | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 4 ounces | | Release date | August 30, 2011 | | Run time | 1 hour and 52 minutes | | Studio | Criterion Collection | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | David Sherwin | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 52 minutes ## Images ![If....

The transfer is every bit as good as you would expect from Criterion and even if you have the Criterion DVD, its worth the upgrade. The extras are excellent, not least the commentary tracks and booklet. My only hope is that before too much longer Criterion do justice to Oh Lucky Man! ## Frequently Bought Together - If....
