Lindsay Anderson was a British director associated with Free Cinema and the British New Wave, best known for 'If....', 'O Lucky Man!', and 'Britannia Hospital'.
Anderson's 'If....' (1968) — in which public school boys violently overthrow the establishment — established the grammar of British institutional critique in cinema, against which Nolan's more internalized response to boarding school can be measured.
