**Producers**: Albert Maysles, David Maysles *The relatives didn’t know that they were dealing with a staunch character. S.T.A.U.N.C.H.* Join us as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of one of the most intriguing documentaries ever made, the Maysles Brothers’ iconic *Grey Gardens.* Decades before reality TV, there was only cinema verité, and David and Albert Maysles led the charge in America with glimpses at real life through their omnipresent lens. Get a peak behind the hedges at one of the Hamptons’ most notorious residences, the home of reclusive mother and daughter Big and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, the black sheep of the Kennedy clan. Co-dependent hoarders, with raccoons for friends, and a penchant to belt out a tune or tell a tale of high society in the 1940s, these two women and their interplay create one of the most enduring portrait films in the history of cinema. Outspoken, iconoclastic, and utterly iconic, the Beales will entertain you from start to finish. **Picks from the Video Store**: Craving more intriguing personality docs?
