SIM Ep 445 Flicking #8: Grey Gardens

Grab your favourite jumper, wrap it around your head and safety pin your backless swimming costume together, as this month's Flicking sees Mick and our resident film buff Yosra Osman visit the iconic Grey Gardens at Hannah's behest. The Maysles brothers' cult 1975 documentary throws up a lot of questions: What will they make of Big and Little Edie Beale? What does it tell us about mums, daughters, mums and daughters, and women in general? How did it change documentary making? And just how many raccoons is too many raccoons?  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
