{"product_id":"if-9","title":"If....","description":"Lindsay Anderson's 1968 masterpiece, \"If...\", deals fundamentally - and controversially - with England and quintessential 'Englishness'. Coming six years after Anderson's double Oscar-nominated debut feature, \"This Sporting Life\", \"If...\" was the first film ever with a British setting and cast to win the Palme d'Or for Best Film at Cannes. The fruit of Anderson's first-hand studies of the Czech, Polish and Indian New Waves led by Milos Forman, Andrzej Wajda and, most famously, Satyajit Ray, it prophesied - and then mirrored - an international outbreak of youthful rebellion. An authority on Lindsay Anderson and his films, Sutton here draws on massive quantities of original material: Anderson's private archive, which illuminates the film's autobiographical elements; the original script \"Crusaders\"; the sequel on which he was working at the time of his death; interviews with key members of cast and crew including lead Malcolm McDowell, all are here explored to unravel the mysteries of a film which continues to delight, enrage and inspire.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55612232073560,"sku":"9781850436720","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781850436720_376d2f29-e204-4194-8d2e-ba0d77748f18.jpg?v=1777989665","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/if-9","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
