QUEEN OF VERSAILLES, Aug 24-30, Documentary, PG, 100 min, in English
QUEEN OF VERSAILLES, Aug 24-30
A film by Lauren Greenfield, Documentary, PG, 100 min, in English.
"Grade A! Succulently entertaining. The next big documentary-as-cultural touchstone." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"A gaudy guilty pleasure that is also a piece of trenchant social criticism. A sprawling, richly detailed study of ambition, desire and the wild swings of fortune. If this film is a portrait, it is also a mirror." -A.O. Scott, NY Times
With the epic dimensions of a Shakespearean tragedy, The Queen of Versailles follows billionaires Jackie and David's rags-to-riches story to uncover the innate virtues and flaws of the American dream. We open on the triumphant construction of the biggest house in America, a sprawling, 90,000-square-foot mansion inspired by Versailles. Since a booming time-share business built on the real-estate bubble is financing it, the economic crisis brings progress to a halt and seals the fate of its owners. We witness the impact of this turn of fortune over the next two years in a riveting film fraught with delusion, denial, and self-effacing humor.
