See all- Lets see the original Grey Gardens @ The RioThe Rio Theatre, Vancouver, BC
We see 'Grey Gardens' referred to a lot in media & films. Let's watch this great documentary about the eccentric lives of 2 reclusive relatives of Jackie Kennedy Onassis to see what the fuss is about. :)
Edie Bouvier Beale & her mother, Edith, are the sole inhabitants of a Long Island estate. They openly discuss their habits, desires & former loves with filmmakers Albert and David Maysles. The women reveal themselves to be misfits with outsized, engaging personalities. Much of the conversation is centered on their pasts, as mother & daughter now rarely leave home.
The Rio Theatre is a charming theatre located a 4 min walk from the skytrain.
545 pm Grey Gardens (1975, English, 95 mins)
