Movie description
In 1963, director Michael Apted interviewed a diverse group of British seven-year-olds about their hopes for the future. Since then he has returned to them at seven-year intervals to see what changes time has wrought. In this film these children are 35, and this often touching documentary explores the sometimes predictable, sometimes surprising ways their lives have turned out. While some have managed to fulfill their every dream, others remain lost and unfocused, and a few of the original subjects simply refused to appear at all. Divorce and death have touched some lives, while others have yet to experience a fulfilling romance. The film investigates whether there is any truth to the Jesuit quote "Give me a child until he is seven, and I will give you the man." Old footage of the subjects is spliced with new material, leaving viewers to draw their own conclusions. Initially conceived as an investigation of the class system in England, the longest-running documentary project in history has become much more--a moving portrait of individuals trying to cope with all of life's complexities.

Notes
Shot on location in England, Australia, Bangladesh, and Wisconsin.

Estimated budget: $600,000.

Three of the original subjects refused to participate: Peter, Simon, and Charles.

"I shoot for about a month, then edit for two months--but the preparation is endless. I start about a year before, ringing them up and testing the waters to find out which ones I'm going to have to work on persuading to do the film--a process that can get very wearing. With all of them there are subjects they won't talk about and I have to agree to that, because the only way to keep the project going is to make them partners in it."--director Michael Apted to the Los Angeles Times (February 9, 1992).

"I have a colossal amount of material on each person (the ratio of film shot to film used is 30 to 1) and could tell 50 different stories about each of them--I could recut the footage and make them all failures or successes, obnoxious or saintly. With a documentary one exercises tremendous power in the editing process, and the choices I make in the editing room teach me a lot about my own ingrained attitudes and beliefs."--Apted in interview with the Los Angeles Times (February 9, 1992).

"7 UP is amazingly cute and charming in both a good and bad sense. 7 PLUS 7 is the most tortured film and is a real insight into the adolescent mind. It makes you wonder what happens to people between 7 and 14--outgoing, bright children turn into taciturn, morose teenagers. At 21 they come out of their shells again and are full of life and the power they felt was in their hands. They were pretty obnoxious at 14 and 21, but as they get older they become nicer. At 28 you sense the pattern of their working life is set, and if they hadn't made it by then, they were going to have problems. With the new film, several of them have lost a parent, and the issue of mortality presents itself for the first time."--Apted to the Los Angeles Times (February 9, 1992).

Editorial reviews
"...[An] important, ever-unfolding document....This brave, demanding project has yielded much more wisdom than [Apted] or anyone else could have expected..."
Maslin 

"...Compelling in both personal and socioeconomic terms....35 UP gives you the kind of compulsively watchable glimpses into private lives one usually gets only with one's own family..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (02/07/1992)

"...Somewhere in the midst of the UP project lurks the central mystery of life..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (02/14/1992)
