Q

gray gardens

A

Meet Big and Little Edie Beale: mother and daughter@ high-society dropouts@ and reclusive cousins of Jackie Onassis. The two manage to thrive together amid the decay and disorder of their East Hampton@ New York@ mansion@ making for an eerily ramshackle echo of the American Camelot. An impossibly intimate portrait@ this 1976 documentary by Albert and David Maysles@ codirected by Ellen Hovde and Muffie Meyer@ quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen. The Blu-ray edition features the 2006 follow-up to the film@ The Beales of Grey Gardens@ constructed from hours of extra footage in the filmmakers’ vaults.
