Directed by Albert and David Maysles
1975 Documentary
Rated PG
****
Over the years, Grey Gardens has gained a reputation as being both one of the quirkiest cult classics of all time and one of the most loved. I've always been fascinated with people who seem to enjoy living in squalor, and the Beale's certainly do. The film feels less like a documentary than most you will see; there's no narration, and it seems that pretty much whatever was able to be filmed during the directors' time there was what they used. It would have been nice to see a bit more into the Beale women when they were younger (they were both beautiful), but as it is, it stands as one of the most unintentionally funny movies ever made.
