Grey Gardens

Grey Gardens is a recently re-released cult film that illustrates folie à deux, a shared delusional disorder. The deterioration of the old house in East Hampton parallels the deterioration we observe in the mother and daughter who grow old together, isolated and estranged and more than a little odd. It is a useful learning experience to watch the film with the DSM-IV in hand.
