F for Fake*
aka: Vérités et Mensonges; ? About Fakes
Fra/Iran/WG 1974. Astrophone/Saco/Janus. 85m.
Orson Welles narrates and edits a film about recent examples of art forgeries, including some examples of his own.
Experimental semi-documentary done in a very flashily edited Brechtian style, from a famous actor-director in the autumn of his career. Enjoyable and rather soulless, but Welles still has the same exuberant flair for style over content as when he first made Citizen Kane.
