35 Up (1991)

The Up series, continued. No huge surprises in this one, except one that concerns an absentee. One reads on the IMDB page, at the Frequently Asked Questions section (this was published 4 years ago, before 56 Up (2012) was made):

*quote* Peter criticised Thatcher's government in 28 Up and lost his teaching job after a tabloid media campaign; he did not appear in any more "Up" films. *unquote* .

(Observation inserted on May 30, 2014: Peter appeared on 56 Up and stated that his leaving the teaching profession had nothing to do with the tabloids, it was his decision entirely.)

Jackie and Sue and their new respective developments were the most interesting things in this installment, in my opinion. I will not comment further, except that, well, they just made me think.

This movie made the Dale Thomajan top ten lists, the second and last time an Up movie did.
