Grey Gardens (1975)
Released September 27th in the US.
Filmed in New York.
The story : Edith Bouvier Beale is the elderly mother of 57-year-old Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale.
They are infact the aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Onassis.
Once socialites and debutantes with promising careers now reduced to squalor , living in the only place they can call home , the run-down mansion known as Grey Gardens - along with bugs , many cats and intruding wildlife.
Grey Gardens is now a hollow shack hidden deep behind overgrown gardens that once were beautiful and cheery.
Big Edie and little Edie spend their days and nights , reminiscing about the days that past and all the people once in their lives.
Eccentric and entertaining , documentary makers the Maysles brothers decided to spend some time with the Edies listening to their outrageous stories and days of the past because they have caused quite an uproar in the richy rich town where Grey Gardens resides due to not caring for their home and property.
