My personal favorite film of all time, If takes place in a British boarding school, where Mick Travis (played by Malcolm McDowell, who is fantastic as usual) and his fellow "degenerates" revolt against the "whips" (seniors of the school who dominate their classmates) and the authorities of the school.

If is a very fascinating and unique film. The style is most noteworthy in the way the film switches between black and white to color, seemingly for no reason.

A very dark and surreal film, highly recommended.

-10/10

I heard McDowell's performance in this is why Kubrick chose him for A Clockwork Orange. I'm gonna have to check it out.
