Out-takes from the camp classic.
Criterion have released Beales of Grey Gardens, containing not-before-seen footage from the original documentary. According to the blurb:
The 1976 cinema vérité classic Grey Gardens, which captured in remarkable close-up the lives of the eccentric East Hampton recluses Big and Little Edie Beale, has spawned everything from a midnight-movie cult following to a Broadway musical, to an upcoming Hollywood adaptation. The filmmakers then went back to their vaults of footage to create part two, The Beales of Grey Gardens, a tribute both to these indomitable women and to the original landmark documentary’s legions of fans, who have made them American counterculture icons.
We agree with mr FourFour who says that Grey Gardens started to make a whole lot more ’sense’ once he turned on the subtitles [we nicked the above still from his blog]. We’ll be watching the new edition with them on as well. “I really see better with the whole thing over my face”. Indeed.
