F for Fake
France, Iran, West Germany 1973 | 89 minutes | English, French, Spanish | Hebrew, English subtitles
Orson Welles loves the art of illusion. With filmmaker François Reichenbach, he seeks to portray one of the greatest forgers, Elmyr de Hory, who admirably imitated the works of contemporary painters. Dressed as a magician, Welles keeps us intrigued, plays around with the truth and lies behind his editing table.
