123 - Grey Gardens

[MrHenryDog]

The Criterion Collection 123

A unique and fascinating film, Grey Gardens covers a lot of ground while staying entirely within one house. Through the complexity of its subjects and the subtlety of the filmmakers, it becomes a stunningly beautiful and original viewing experience. The documentary camera work of Grey Gardens consists of mostly grainy, hand-held takes. There is, however, a tremendous beauty to the compositions, colors, and textures. The transfer here is amazing given the age and source of the materials. Truly a stunning job. The film is appropriately full-screen.
