IF... you Missed Brussels

console yourself with one of the best films of the 1960s tonight, BBC 2, 00:30.

Anderson's 'IF...', 1968, starring Malcolm McDowell, is one of those films which seems to be more relevant as time elapses, and like a select few others, catches the mood of the times perfectly. Forget the anachronistic and inexplicably popular 'Withnail': if you want an evocation of the 60s Zeitgeist, try Powell's 'Peeping Tom', Polanski's 'Repulsion', Antonioni's 'Blow-Up' and this one. How it should suddenly pop up on the schedules now is probably a random occurence, and unfortunately it'll clash with an episode of 'Twin Peaks'. O, the difficult decisions facing we armchair revolutionaries..!
