That Summer

Albert and David Maysles' classic GREY GARDENS immortalized the estate of Edith and Little Edie Beale, relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy who lived in appalling conditions. But there's more to the story: when Lee Radziwill and Peter Beard decided to make a film about Radziwill's childhood, they brought the Maysles to the Beales. For 45 years, the reels from that first contact sat in a vault. This documentary resurrects the lost footage. We are transported back to "that summer" in1972, a seductive dream world and collage of radically unconventional creative personalities—Warhol, Bacon, Jagger, Capote—practicing the art of living amidst oppressive forces of class expectation and prejudice.
