Grey Gardens

A fascinating, insightful 1975 documentary in which the Maysles brothers let their eccentric, paranoid, emotionally-fragile subjects, who were relatives of Jackie O., speak for themselves as cameras follow the perpetual scarf-wearing 56-year-old Edie Bouvier Beale and her wise-cracking 79-year-old mother Edith Bouvier Beale at their raccoon-infested, cat-laden, trashed Long Island mansion as they ramble about nothing and reminiscence about happier times.
