Episode 55: 63 Up
This week on Remainders we watch the 2019 documentary 63 Up. Part of the long-running British film series that started in the 1960s, The Up Series has been following its cast of characters since they were 7 years old. Originally intended as a study on the British class system, their personal lives have become the purpose over the decades of filming. About as unique of a film project as can be, and a clear influence on contemporary directors like Richard Linklater, this epic story of regular people continues to unfold.
Other topics include A.I. and movies, social media and The Up Series prediction of social fame, rewatching Tenet and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 90s movies, and how Anthony Hopkins punches a bear in The Edge.
