HBO's "Grey Gardens," starring Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore, is the kind of film that makes you question what you're seeing: Is it a tender love story or a hideous freak show? Is it a tragedy or comedy? Do you feel admiration for its subjects, or pity?
Perhaps it's all of the above.
Some background: In 1973, filmmakers Albert and David Maysles descended on East Hampton to chronicle the bizarre riches-to-rags tale of reclusive grande dame Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter Edith, the aunt and cousin of Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
Tune In
Glamour goes grey. Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange portray real-life Jackie O. kin and faded socialites Little Edie and Big Edie Beale in HBO's Grey Gardens, premiering Saturday night at 8 p.m. EDT.
