Grey Gardens

In a filthy, rotting East Hampton mansion overrun with cats and raccoons, Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edie lead a reclusive and eccentric lifestyle—to put it mildly. The two Edies, cousins to Jacqueline Onassis, talk about their former lives in high society, offer bizarre fashion tips, and try to maintain the line between past and present. In this strange and often surreal piece of direct cinema, an unforgettable, sometimes disturbing, but ultimately affectionate relationship is explored.
