Meet Big and Little Edie Beale- high society dropouts, mother and daughter, reclusive cousins of Jacki O.- living together amid the decay and disorder of their ramshackle East Hampton mansion. An impossibly intimate portrait and eerie echo of the Kennedy Camelot, Albert and David Maysles's 1976 Grey Gardens quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen. Thirty years later, the filmmakers revisited their landmark documentary with a sequel of sorts, The Beales of Grey Gardens, culled from hours of newly discovered, never-before-seen footage.
