The Queen of Versailles
The Queen of Versailles is an independent documentary film directed by Lauren Greenfield, which premiered at Sundance 2012 winning the Best Directing Award. The Queen of Versailles is a character-driven documentary about a billionaire family and their financial challenges in the wake of the economic crisis. With epic proportions of Shakespearean tragedy, the film follows two unique characters, whose rags-to-riches success stories reveal the innate virtues and flaws of the American Dream.
