I'm pretty sure Apted spends a couple of hours with each subject every seven years.  Hardly intrusive.  But then they have to deal with the folks in the grocery store until the next segment.

I've seen them all, and don't find the subjects lives 'mundane' at all.  I happen to be a contemporary of the subjects, but that aside, this is a monumental piece of documentary cinema that has never been attempted before or since.  So many reviewers of the original few entries have said it was a scrutinization of the…

London taxi drivers make a pile of dough, as well they should.  Their testing is crazily stringent.  Even though their economy is also in the shits, people will always  take taxis.  Hence the house (and nice pool) in Spain.  Academia has always paid crap.  Not something you want to get into for the dollars.  Hell,…
