Filmed inside a crumbling East Hampton estate in New York, Grey Gardens observes the lives of a mother and daughter both named Edith Beale. The two reclusive, upper-class women are the aunty and first cousin of former US First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
The camera captures a fragile balance between intimacy and performance as “Big Edie” and “Little Edie” sing, argue and reminisce their way around their dilapidated home. The film redefines documentary portraiture, proving both mesmerising and unsettling and revealing how identity can be shaped through storytelling.
‘An extraordinary study of how people invent themselves in front of a camera.’
- Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
