The Harlem-based Maysles Brothers' career started with their documentary on Jackie O's forgotten relatives, the Beales. Living in squalor and lost in a bygone time, the mother and daughter team reminds us a little of Harlem's Collyer Brothers (but without the Jackie-swooping-in-to-save-them part). Last month, HBO released a well-received movie on the Beales and their estate on Long Island, Grey Gardens. See the previous post on the Maysles: LINK. See here for the Collyer Brothers: LINK.
