Film Details

Are our adult lives predetermined by our earliest influences and by the social class in which we are born and raised? That’s the question British filmmaker Michael Apted first explored in the 1964 TV documentary Seven Up!, which profiled 14 diverse British schoolchildren, all age seven. Apted revisited the question, and his aging subjects, in follow-up films every seven years. 63 Up, the series’ ninth and perhaps final installment, is a moving, emotional group portrait full of surprises and teeming with clips from the previous films. “A worthy cap to one of the boldest experiments in world cinema” —Variety. “Completely enveloping.” –L.A.
