A building where marble cladding alone is worth US$ 5 million, with fairytale-like stairways and a decadent luxury that simply boggles the imagination. The architectural plans, by the way, were inspired by the Palace of Versailles and the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. However, when the economic crisis breaks out and the housing bubble bursts, the Siegels\u2019 life work comes under threat.<br \/>\nDirector Lauren Greenfield first met the couple in 2007 at the height of their financial success. Thanks to their immense wealth, the Siegels were rated as the very epitome of the American Dream. Yet after the crash of 2008, the wreckage of their Versailles building plans become a challenge for the whole family. And it is Jackie \u2013 surprisingly enough \u2013 who deals with things best. A story about decadence, ambition, loss and the craters of the American Dream.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Awards for \u203aThe Queen of Versailles\u2039<\/strong><br \/>\nBest Direction Award, Sundance Film Festival 2012 | Best Documentary, Florida Film Critics 2012 | 5 Best Movies, New York Times 2012 | 10 Best Movies, Slate Magazine 2012 | Best Documentary Prize, BIFFDOC 2012<\/p>\n<p>Film programme A Better Life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13662,"template":"","movie_year":[99],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[491],"festival":[607],"class_list":["post-13673","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-99","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-focus-en-2013","festival-2013-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Queen of Versailles - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/the-queen-of-versailles\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Queen of Versailles - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u00bbYou couldn\u2019t invent a better metaphor for America\u2019s economic insanity.\u00ab \u2013 Peter Keough, Boston Phoenix \u00bbNothing is really normal about [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/the-queen-of-versailles\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IFFF.Dortmund.Koeln\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-19T10:15:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IFFF2013_QueenOfVersailles_4-3_website.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"810\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@frauenfilmfest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/the-queen-of-versailles\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/the-queen-of-versailles\\\/\",\"name\":\"The Queen of Versailles - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/the-queen-of-versailles\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/the-queen-of-versailles\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/01\\\/IFFF2013_QueenOfVersailles_4-3_website.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-01-30T22:06:38+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-19T10:15:34+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/the-queen-of-versailles\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/the-queen-of-versailles\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/the-queen-of-versailles\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/01\\\/IFFF2013_QueenOfVersailles_4-3_website.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/01\\\/IFFF2013_QueenOfVersailles_4-3_website.jpg\",\"width\":1080,\"height\":810,\"caption\":\"Film still from Queen of Versailles.
