1968 · TMDB 7.0
Directed by Lindsay Anderson
In an English boys' boarding school, social hierarchy reigns supreme and power remains in the hands of distanced and ineffectual teachers and callously vicious prefects in the Upper Sixth. Three Lower Sixth students, Wallace, Johnny and leader Mick Travis decide on a shocking course of action to redress the balance of privilege once and for all.
Why it matters
Lindsay Anderson's satire of a British boarding school, mixing documentary texture with surreal bursts of violence and fantasy.
