The Queen of Versailles

QueenOfVersailles 1

With the epic dimensions of a Shakespearean tragedy, Lauren Greenfield’s documentary The Queen of Versailles follows David and Jackie Siegel’s rags-to-riches-to-rags story, which evolved during filming in the wake of our Great Recession. The couple intended to build the biggest house in America, but that particular American Dream was not to be, as this Sundance Film Festival award winner documents.
