This Queen Didn't Lose Her Head, At Least

Terrrific doc, which is showing up on many Ten Best lists for the year, The Queen of Versailles, now free on Netflix.   Much dark humor in collapse of a rich family's fortunes (the wretched excess, dogs poop on the floor, a lizard dies and no one notices, and so on) but also a true depiction of economic plunge since 2008, on the 1% but also average workers and "the help."  The "queen" is a piece of work--literally--with her fake books and Botox and more.  Plus:  the hubby of the "queen" is David Siegel who claims he got Bush elected in 2000 illegally--and then drew attention this year with letters to employees almost ordering them to vote against Obama.  Trailer:
