    a bizarre and brilliant satire and sequel to if...with malcolm reprising his role as mick travis, now a coffee salesman(!), on a surreal odyssey around '70's britain. a very ambitious film commenting on many aspects of modern society and with most of the actors in multiple roles...( read more), which can get confusing. with strange musical interludes by alan price of the animals. it's over 3 hours long and definitely a trip. revolution is the opiate of the intellectuals

    A sequel of sorts to IF. Some strange strayings of the story make it interesting as it never becomes predictable.

    I liked the story but I had to FF thru the musical interludes.

    A worthy follow up to If....
    Mick Travis is now a coffee salesman, travelling across 70s Britain and encountering many strange characters.
    Malcolm McDowell is excellent as well as the rest of the cast which features a wealth of British talent.

    The strangest in Lindsey Anderson's trilogy and maybe the best (by a hair, they're all 5 star films). Once again, like with all the films, everything works perfectly to make a one of a kind viewing experience.

    Whenever I see Malcolm McDowell, I think two things: Caligula and A Clockwork Orange. Seeing him do a musical is a little too much to stomach.

    This movie, and IF are his two best films after Clockwork Orange in my humble opinion.

    IF sequel. I never would have thought MTravis would grow up to be a coffee salesman lol.

    Perhaps the greatest film I have ever seen, no segment of society escapes unscathed. Theatrical, poetic, symbolic... this film demonstrated director Lindsay Anderson's deft control of the cinematic and theatrical arts.
