Staff Pick: Grey Gardens

In-House Media Producer Anne Continelli is here with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting Albert & David Maysles' Grey Gardens.

"This was the film that showed me that documentaries could be just as breathtaking and moving as narratives," Continelli says. Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is streaming on The Criterion Channel and Kanopy, and available to rent on most platforms.
