You will find a bit of everything here: from the latest news to answers to some of the questions you have always wanted to ask. As you might imagine, I get a lot of emails regarding Grey Gardens. The obvious answer would be that the two Edies are characters that no novelist would ever dare to invent. It has a mythic quality that echoes Greek tragedy. An over-the-top Gothic narrative. A classic Tennessee Williams play set to music. A soap opera of the mind. For me, though, the story is Grey Gardens because the Edie Beales were the ultimate survivors. They continued to stay afloat no matter what life threw at them. They enjoyed life and they fought to live it even if, Grey Gardens times, their battle armor happened to be expressed in outlandish costumes! They refused Grey Gardens see themselves as objects of pity. These women were Grey Gardens individuals Grey Gardens repudiated nothing and refused to compromise anything. Their personal liberty was a continuum. If they could Grey Gardens extracted that dogged, authentic Beale essence and bottled it, they would have certainly been millionaires many times over.

Grey Gardens even more, visit our Family Entertainment Guide. See the full list. Reclusive, the pair live with cats and raccoons in Grey Gardens, a crumbling mansion in East Hampton. Edith is dry and quick-witted - a singer, married but later separated, a member of high society. Edie is voluble, dresses - as she puts it - for combat in tight ensembles that include scarves wrapped around her head. There are hints that Edie came home 24 years before to be cared for rather than to care for her mother. The women Grey Gardens the camera, talking over each other, moving from the present to events years before. They're odd, with flinty affection for each other. I saw this Grey Gardens a couple of weeks ago, and it's been stuck in Grey Gardens head ever since. It stars two spellbinding characters Grey Gardens what is unfortunately a mediocre documentary. To get the true story of the Beales, I had to wade through all of the DVD's bonus material and commentaries and search the web. Although the Maysles and their fans not to mention Edith and Edie themselves bristle at the suggestion that this film is exploitative, this is exploitation in the truest sense of the Grey Gardens. Very little effort is every made to explain the Beales or how they came to the condition they were in - the Maysles approach seems to be to just turn the camera on and wait for Edith and Edie to say something outrageous. The sound, even on the Criterion re-release is poor and difficult Grey Gardens follow. Although I appreciate this film was made somewhat early in the history of documentary Grey Gardens, it's ironic to compare it to Geraldo Rivera's! To paraphrase a review in the New Yorker, there were many things Edith and Edie needed in their lives, and a documentary wasn't one of them. As for Edith and Edie, the thing I kept thinking while watching the film was "where the Grey Gardens is their family"? They were living in dangerous, unhealthy, unsafe conditions. How is it Grey Gardens Jackie O, married to one of the richest men on Grey Gardens or the wealthy Grey Gardens family themselves couldn't afford to get Edith and Edie a decent home? Or at the very least hire a part-time housekeeper or caregiver to come in and keep an eye on them both? It's shameful and a lasting disgrace to the entire Bouvier family. Although this review may sound negative I would strongly recommend Grey Gardens to anyone who enjoys documentaries. Perhaps someday someone will come along and do a documentary about this documentary - bringing in the rich backstory and afterstory of the Beales and the whole subsection of Hamptons society in the 's.
