Grey Gardens / The Beales of Grey Gardens (Criterion Collection)

This fascinating, double-documentary set begins with an intimate portrait of Edith Bouvier Beale and Little Edie Beale. Name sound familiar? Bouvier was the birth name of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. This behind-the-scenes look at the reclusive relatives of Jackie O, specifically her aunt and first cousin, is presented here in Grey Gardens (1976/94 min.). Their story and their lives were clearly flavored with the aura of the Kennedy "Camelot" era. So Albert and David Mayles returned 30 years later to have a second look at the infamous mom and daughter in their sequel documentary, The Beales of Grey Gardens (2006/91 min.). 2 DVDs. Color/NR.
