2003feb20. In 1963, director Michael Apted interviewed a group of British seven year olds for a documentary entitled 7 Up. Every seven years he’s been returning to the same people, interviewing them, and kicking out a new documentary (14 Up, etc). I just saw 35 Up, and now I’m on patrol for
42 Up. I’ve seen a few movie reviewers suggest that you go back as far as possible and view each in succession. There’s also a 42 Up book, and other film spin-offs like “14 Up in America,” “7/14 Up in Russia,” “7 Up in South Africa.”
