If... (1968)
An uneven, yet thoroughly engaging indictment of the English boarding school system. Sometimes silly, sometimes quite funny with flashes of true cruelty and brutality. The film's odd oscillation between color and b&w feels forced and gimmicky, but a young Malcolm MacDowell shines as his misguided rage boils over.
7/10
