Deftly blending vĂ©ritĂ© footage, interviews, landscapes, and fictional elements (some of which involve actors Denis Lavant and Aurore ClĂ©ment), Gray House candidly explores the relationships between individuals and their environments across five different settings. By way of stunning nocturnal imagery and a commandingly atmospheric sound design, the film presents glimpses of corners of the country seldom portrayed in cinema—the North Dakotan oil plains, an intentional community in rural Virginia, a women’s correctional facility in the Pacific Northwest—and methodically unearths their obscure beauty. Perhaps more urgently, Lynch and Booth provide ample screen time to American working-class people who are seen in films even less often, carving out a space for them to express their fears, desires, politics, and musings about their everyday realities.
