Hibernating through January, I suggest these two films. Gimme Shelter (1970) Documentary on the Rolling Stones 1969 tour and Altamont Concert. And Grey Gardens (1975) an amazing documentary about Big Edie and Little Edie, mother-daughter pair, aunt and cousin of Jackie O. Worth watching more than once, it inspires some questions. Take a look at the original trailer on YouTube.
Both films were made by Albert and David Maysles. Both are available at the library. However the waiting list for Grey Gardens at the Seattle library, is months long, I finally got my hands on it last night.
Two thumbs up.
