“Indeed, Anderson contrasts the unwholesome homoerotic atmosphere at the school with the actual homosexual relationship that develops between Wallace and Bobby Phillips, an underclassman. This relationship is portrayed as warm, gentle, comforting and mutually supportive. (It is the one relationship at the school in which power doesn’t come into play.) Of course, this may be one more fantasy, an expression of Wallace’s wish for such a relationship, but, either way, Anderson is able to distinguish between an indiscriminately oppressive adolescent culture in the school and the attractive bonding that occurs between Wallace and Bobby. Moreover, it is one more thing in Mick’s favor that he accepts without reservation his friend’s homosexuality—a truly refreshing circumstance in a film made more than 35 years ago.”
IF.… (1968) dir. Lindsay Anderson
