63 Up
One of the greatest cinematic achievements in history, the award-winning 7 Up series has checked in on the same group of people every seven years since they were children. Nine episodes and six decades later, we are now 63 Up, and the subjects director Michael Apted first captured in 1964 are heading towards retirement—what has life thrown at them over the last seven years? Getting richer with each installment, Apted’s saga both precedes and eclipses our reality TV-obsessed culture in a singularly human portrait of everyday people moving through all stages of life. A marvel to witness whether or not you've seen the full anthology, this latest installment is full of insight, warmth, and humour in what Apted says could be the coda of the series. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for 70 Up.
