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.
