...film's world is a historical movement. Another sort of world is also presented: that of the nobility exiled in Germany. The gimcrack-filled hostel where they lodge perfectly establishes the decadence and staticity of their lives. The scene showing them is diverse in character and conduct; the variety of the aristocrats' feelings and actions is the substance of their social actions. But their entire milieu is doomed, simply because it does not move. Set against Renoir's virile shots of the revolutionaries, simple and full of strong light-dark contrast, the over-refined nobles stand no chance...

The Project means different things to different participants, but for most of the undergraduates who go every year, much of the program's value lies in the fact that it allows them to conduct research under optimum conditions. The city and the other group members are never far away if they want advice or old friends; most of the Indians with whom students work have been visited before and are fami- liar with the procedure of observation and interviewing.

Anderson's If ... contains ideas, characters and even a climactic scene reminiscent of Zero. The difference lies in accomplishment. James Agee rightly called Zero "one of the few great movie poems." Anderson's If . . . is occasionally powerful and moving, but even at its best it is never more than forceful and faintly mannered prose...
...about the nature of freedom and repression, about schoolboys and their world of desperate fantasy in a single scene than Anderson does in an entire film. If, as the Rolling Stones sing, "the time is right for palace revolution," then If . . . may be a timely film. Still, Zero for Conduct will remain the timeless...
