F For Fake (Full Frame, Special Edition)

Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In Orson Welles' free-from documentary "F For Fake," the legendary filmmaker (and self-describes charlatan) gleefully engages the central preoccupation of his career - the tenuous line between truth and illusion, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of world-renowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles goes on a dizzying cinematic journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripes - not the least of which is Welles himself. Charming and inventive, "F For Fake" is an inspired prank and a searching examination of the essential duplicity of cinema.
