F For Fake (Blu-Ray)

Beschrijving
ORSON WELLES'S DELIGHTFULLY SHIFTY DOCUMENTARY
Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In F for Fake, a free-form documentary by ORSON WELLES (Citizen Kane), the legendary filmmaker (and self-described charlatan) gleefully re-engages with the central preoccupation of his career: the tenuous line between illusion and truth, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of the world-renowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles embarks on a dizzying journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all 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 essential duplicity of cinema.
