Shame

 USA, 2011, dir. Steve McQueen ***

The story of a sex addict living in NY. He has it all, a well-paid job, a nice apartment in Manhattan and all possibilities are open to him. However, a messed-up relationship with his sister and his addiction to sex and pornography will take the better of him. 

Queen of Versailles

USA, 2012 dir. Lauren Greenfield  ****

A documentary that chronicles the rise and fall of David Siegel (a time-share mogul) and his wife Jacqueline. The American dream is shown in all its glory, with its positive and mostly negative outcomes during the 2008 recession period in the USA. Hard to believe it is all true, but actually, it is. See it to believe it.
