The ongoing “1969” repertory series continues with Malcolm McDowell starring as a public school anarchist in Lindsay Anderson’s If…, a landmark of ’60s cinema and counterculture. Long before Columbine, McDowell leads a full-scale revolt against everything the hateful school stands for. A film of tremendous resonance, coming when it did with the force of a grenade, If… was the first part of Anderson’s Mick Travis trilogy. The film spoke the language of the barricades in a year of revolution, using the school as a microcosm of a repressive British society. Preceded at 7 p.m. by The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, with the Oscar-winning Maggie Smith as a teacher who learns a thing or two from her pupils. (NR) ELLIOTT STEIN
