The Queen of Versailles (2012, Lauren Greenfield)

I was really intrigued by this movie when it had came out and wasn't even sure if this was supposed to be a mockumentary or a "proper" documentary. But somehow I always managed to miss it. And they did play it here in Dublin for quite some time! So I was pleasantly surprised when it was shown on BBC just a few weeks after it had finished its theatrical run.

Story is well known and bizarre and it obviously speaks to the audience about human stupidity, shallowness, megalomania, trivial and materialistic view of life etc etc etc. But I liked it foremost from its documentary film-making aspect. Director doesn't really choose any sides and just keeps filming what's in front of her camera. And what comes out from it is that you don't feel absolutely nothing for these assholes. No pity, no anger, no contempt, no nothing.
