Film Description

Directed by the Maysles brothers, the filmmakers behind Salesman (1968) and The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter (1969), Grey Gardens is a spellbinding documentary about two eccentric and reclusive women, aunt and cousin to Jackie Onassis, living in a squalid mansion in New York's affluent East Hampton district. Big Edie and Little Edie's world is a stage upon which their disappointments and pleasures are played out in front of the camera.

A cult classic, Grey Gardens has inspired a Broadway show, a centre page fashion spread in both Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and a forthcoming Hollywood ‘remake’. It also prompted the intervention of Jackie O. to save the couple from a hazardous health eviction order and any further ‘embarrassment’ for the family.
