Grey Gardens

Just saw Grey Gardens again. This is the doc that spawned a Broadway musical and an HBO film. Focusing on Jackie Kennedy Onassis's eccentric aunt and cousin, this shows them in a dysfunctional co-dependent relationship.

Their once fabulous mansion has fallen into disrepair and they live in squalor along with cats, raccoons, and opossums. And they're quite content with their living conditions. Highly recommended to see this first before the HBO film where Barrymore brings new life to Little Edie.
