We’ve got some very exciting news at THN that the fantastic documentary THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES will broadcast on the big screen across the UK on October 2nd, and we’re going to guide you subtly towards getting a ticket! The exceptional Picturehouse Cinemas have chosen it as their favourite documentary of the month and their cinemas will be hosting this one-off event. The doc has been the talk of the town everywhere it’s been playing and has received 4 Star reviews from The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph, The Times, Little White Lies, Empire, Total Film and two weeks running as Time Out’s Critic’s Choice.
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. The film begins with the family triumphantly constructing the biggest house in America, a 90,000 sq. ft. palace. Over the next two years, their sprawling empire, fuelled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis. Major changes in lifestyle and character ensue within the cross-cultural household of family members and domestic staff.
