Albert and David Maysles' classic GREY GARDENS immortalized the estate of Edith and Little Edie Beale, relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, who lived in alarmingly poor conditions. But there is more to the story: it was Lee Radziwill and Peter Beard who first brought the Maysles to the Beales, when the two set out to make a film about Radziwill's childhood. The reels of that first contact were shelved for 45 years. This documentary recovers the lost footage. Anchored in Beard's recollections and artistic vision, we are returned to "that summer" in 1972, 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.

수십 년간 소실되었던 이 특별한 푸티지에는 피터 비어드와 그의 가족 또는 지인들이 담겨 있다. 영화는 1970년대 미국 동부의 몬투크 곶에서 그들이 형성했던 창작집단의 활동과 영향력을 다시금 발견하는 기회를 제공한다. (2018년 제19회 전주국제영화제)

Trois ans avant le mythique documentaire "Grey Gardens", des frères Maysles, les fantasques "Big" et "Little" Edie avaient déjà été filmées par le photographe Peter Beard et son amie Lee Radziwill, soeur de Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, ainsi que par Andy Warhol et Jonas Mekas. Un vertigineux voyage à la rencontre du temps perdu.
