A true American original, legendary vérité documentarians Albert and David Maysles's Grey Gardens discovers an unexpected branch of Jackie Onassis's family: cousins Big and Little Edie Beale. High-society castaways keeping house in a dilapidated East Hampton mansion, this fiercely independent mother-and-daughter team live unapologetically idiosyncratic lives, and this now classic film captures them at once with empathy, fascination, and an overwhelming wistfulness.
Directed by Albert Maysles, David Maysles. Interviews with Edith Beale, Little Edie Beale, Gerard Joseph Torre, Lois Wright.
