Review
|
In the 1960's, director Michael Apted filmed and interviewed
a group of children in a small school in England. His
low-key, non-intrusive style made for compelling drama all
by itself, but when he followed up by catching up to his
subjects eight years later, the story became a powerful
analysis of lives lived. He was particularly interested in
how class plays a role in people's lives. With some of his
subjects, the story had become tragic. How rarely do we
have the opportunity to see a person's life unravel before
our very eyes?
