The West End Cinema will close out its nearly five-year run as the redoubt of art house film in Washington this month with the cult and documentary classic, “Grey Gardens.”
According to West End owner Josh Levin, it’s purely serendipity that the last regularly scheduled feature for his theater will be “Gardens,” the touchstone film of Albert Maysles, the giant of documentary filmmaking who died March 5. It will serve as more than a coincidental tribute to Maysles, though. The film is just the kind of stuff that made watching movies at the West End such a great experience.
