Bozeman Film Society: "63 Up"

Michael Apted’s landmark longitudinal documentary series, beginning in 1963, has followed the lives of a dozen or so British 7-year-olds, checking in with them every seven years. Apted subtly collages historical footage, allowing his subjects to fast-forward into the person they become, much as flowers bud, bloom and fade allowing us to consider our own life cycle with startling and poignant clarity.
"One of the most remarkable experiments in the history of cinema." (The New York Times)
