A
love letter to the fans of the original film 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 and hours of footage shot between 1973 and 1976, The Beales
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, with a montage tribute to Little Edie’s inimitable style
and showstopping outfits. This intimate and transfixing portrait of
the Beales, iconic figures since the release of GREY
GARDENS some thirty years ago, brings us ever closer to
the baroque mystery of their lives together.
Albert
Maysles will be in attendance to answer questions after the screenings
of GREY
GARDENS and The Beales of Grey Gardens.
