Maysles in May: Honouring the life and work of Albert and David Maysles.
A love letter to the fans of Grey Gardens and to the two women at its heart, The Beales of Grey Gardens is drawn entirely from never-before-seen material from the Maysles archive. Edited from hours of footage shot between 1973 and 1976, the film captures ‘Big’ Edie and ‘Little’ Edie at their resplendent, dazzling and exasperating best—philosophizing on God, love and war amidst the disorder of their ramshackle East Hampton mansion. This intimate and transfixing portrait of the Beales, iconic figures since the release of Grey Gardens some thirty years ago, brings us even closer to the baroque mystery of their lives.
