The Queen of Versailles
Dir. by Lauren Greenfield
A surprisingly warm tale that takes two anti heroes and shows you their deepest flaw: being human. David and Jackie Siegel are on top of the world, nearly finished building their dream home, the 90,000 square foot Versailles. That is until the market collapses and, like everyone must do, they are forced to distinguish their needs from their wants as everything begins to disappear. At the heart of this story is the collapsing American dream, different in scale for the Siegels, but still as painful and sobering an eye opener as it would be for any American family.
