Synopsis

Portraits of two forgers of works of art and other stories, plus Welles' own personal reflections on art form in the cinema.


From the Back Cover

How to describe a film so unlike any other ever made? In a nutshell... — F for Fake opens with a couple of magic tricks, segues as though by sleight-of-hand into the story of master art-forger Elmyr de Hory and his relationship with biographer Clifford Irving (a sequence "remixed" by Welles with extant footage from François Reichenbach’s documentary work-in-progress, Elmyr), then hones in on Irving when word gets out that his purported biography of recluse-mogul Howard Hughes is a first-class hoax in its own right. Here the film erupts in all directions, as Welles contrasts the sprawl of ‘70s Hollywood with the halcyon Tinseltown that produced Citizen Kane; contemplates the continent that provided him with an artistic refuge some 800 years after the anonymous construction of the cathedral at Chartres; and, lastly, recounts a meeting between that most un-anonymous of artists — Pablo Picasso — and Welles’ companion Oja Kodar, which took place in her youth, and during which...... — The nutshell here clamps shut; the film itself, however, opens up onto infinite space.

5.0 out of 5 stars great, but no subtitles , 1 May 2008
By ArBeeGee (Flanders, Belgium) - See all my reviews
for the non-English speaker: although the above description mentions optional English subtitles, I have recently purchased this dvd and there are NO subtitles whatsoever (april 2008).

Attention, contrairement à la déscription au-dessus, il n'y a PAS de soustitrage sur ce dvd que j'ai acheté récemment (avril 2008).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great package, but no subtitles!!!, 18 Sep 2008
By Wouter Wirth - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
+ Great film!!!
+ MOC did a good job with this package!

- no english subtitles... As a non-native Speaker, I got to admit, that I didn't understand every word of Orsons verbal escapades.

So long.

Wow
I loved this film, Orson gives a great performance
not his finest hour and a bit of a forgotten Gem

But for any fan of the big man a must
