A new digital restoration of one of the most iconic, fascinating, influential, and enduring documentaries of all time provides a new opportunity to meet Big and Little Edie: mother and daughter, high-society dropouts, and the reclusive aunt and cousin of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. The two manage to survive together amid the decay and disorder of their mansion in the Hamptons. This impossibly intimate portrait quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen. Grey Gardens never goes out of style, but this 40th anniversary rerelease is an especially timely tribute to one of the towering figures of documentary filmmaking, Albert Maysles, who died in March 2015.
