Synopsis ORSON WELLES'S DELlGHTFULLY SHlFTY DOCUMENTARY
Trickery. Deceit. Magic. ln F for Fake, a free-form documentary by ORSON WELLES (Citizen Kane), the legendary fiImmaker (and seIf-described charIatan) gleefuIIy re-engages with the centraI preoccupation of his career: the tenuous line between iIlusion and truth, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of the worId-renowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equaIly devious biographer, Clifford lrving, WeIIes embarks on a dizzying journey that simuItaneousIy exposes and reveIs in fakery and fakers of alI stripes-not the least of whom is Welles himself. Charming and inventive, F for Fake is an inspired prank and a clever examination of the essentiaI duplicity of cinema.
