In the early 1960s, a young filmmaker named Michael Apted worked on a television documentary about how a group of seven-year-olds from different classes viewed their lives. “7 Up” was followed by “14 Up,” “21 Up,” and so on, checking in with the same group of subjects every seven years. Apted’s extraordinary look at ordinary lives continues with “56 Up.”
