Meet Big and Little Edie Beale: mother (Edith Bouvier Beale) and daughter (Edith ‘Little Edie’ Bouvier Beale), high-society dropouts, and reclusive cousins of the Jackie Onassis. The two manage to thrive together amid the decay and disorder of their East Hampton, New York, mansion, making for an eerily ramshackle echo of the American Camelot. An impossibly intimate portrait, this 1976 documentary by Albert and David Maysles, codirected by Ellen Hovde and Muffie Meyer, quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.

“As tender and revealing as it is completely bonkers.” (Times)

“Edith and Edie are like a toxic vaudeville team, joined not just by blood but affinity. They’re three parts folie a deux to two parts shtick.” (Boston Globe)

“Richly detailed and boundlessly evocative, even at its most claustrophobic.” (Village Voice)
