F for Fake
Orson Welles / FR, IR, DE, 1974 / 89 min.
In his penultimate film, a ‘semi-documentary’, legendary filmmaker Orson Welles focuses on the life and crimes of world-famous art forger Elmyr de Hory, alongside a host of other con-artists.
Welles acts as the narrator and emcee, weaving together a colourful tapestry of creative liars. The lines between truth and illusion, seeming and being, can be very thin, Welles concludes.
