42 Up

Released 1998
Directed by Michael Apted

"42 Up" is the third installment (following 28 Up and 35 Up) that I've been able to see so far in the famous "Up" series. I'd love to watch the first three, but they're not available on tape or DVD. It's not necessary to see them all, however, since each film stands on its own. Each film builds portraits of the 14 original subjects by using clips from each of the prior films, and it's fascinating to watch the children grow into adolescence, adulthood, and now middle-age.
