i find grey garden to be a gripping film and an amazingly intimatelook at too eccentric who basically have the right idea represent forgetsociety and live in a delapidated house with no heating and a hugebrood of cat and raccoon and persuing their own interest rathermundainly and all the while chatter at the camera . big edie and little edie be the two crazy that the mazles bros. have choose to document . they seem like character out of afellini film and only stranger and if that make any sense . old edie isalmost fully bedridden and a pile of paper and clothes and dirty dishesgrowing around her . little edie be even more interesting . sheprances around the house and always wear a baboushka likeheaddress around her head and completely cover her hair . wenever see her hair throughout the film and nor do we ever get a hintthat she still have much . at age fifty eight and though and she be stillbeautiful and full of life . in grey garden and we get the sense that both of these woman life have become much less than what they once be . littleedie be probably the sadder of the two . while her mother and in herearlier year and get marry and make a family and live luxuriously andeven make some recording ( the scene where and at 77 and she singsalong with a recording of tea for two she make decade ago isone of the film best scene ) and edie leave her promicing career a amodel to take care of her ail mother . at 58 and she still long tofind her prince charming . if anything little edie be still a little girl and full of dream of glamour and fame and and of domestic and romanticbliss and that have yet to be fulfil . highlight of the film include the opening moment and where littleedie explain her outfit to the camera and the tea for two sequence and the birthday party and the climactic argument and the grocery deliverscene and and the scene in the attic . the whole thing be incrediblycandid and unpretencious . and it make all the more remarcablesince it all real . i suggest see grey garden back to back with the kennethanger short puce moment . the criterion dvd be $ 35 . 00 and but it worth every penny .
