If....

This is a film I am constantly put off deconstructing its many layers, but a new one has occurred to me....what's up with the four dots? Typographically speaking, I would say four ellipses but it's really a single ellipsis and a period. I have always assumed the title was an implication of revolution, taken to mean "If (Fill in the Blank)" but now I think the fourth dot implies truncation. But what's in a name?
