F for Fake&#;(French:&#;Vérités et mensonges, "Truths and lies") is the last major film completed by&#;Orson Welles, who directed, co-wrote, and starred in the film. Initially released in , it focuses on&#;Elmyr de Hory's&#;recounting of his career as a professional&#;art forger; de Hory's story serves as the backdrop for a fast-paced, meandering investigation of the natures ofauthorship&#;and&#;authenticity, as well as the basis of the value of art. Loosely a&#;documentary, the film operates in several different genres and has been described as a kind of&#;film essay.
Far from serving as a traditional documentary on Elmyr de Hory, the film also incorporates Welles's companion&#;Oja Kodar, notorious "hoax-biographer"&#;Clifford Irving, and Orson Welles as himself.
Plot[]
Several narratives are woven together throughout the film, including those of de Hory, Irving, Welles, Howard Hughes and Kodar.
About de Hory, we learn that he was a struggling artist who turned to forgery out of desperation, only to see the greater share of the profits from his deceptions go to doubly unscrupulous art dealers. As partial compensation for that injustice, he is maintained in a villa in Ibiza by one of his dealers. What is only hinted at in Welles's documentary

[edit]- Ladies and gentleman, by way of introduction, this is a film about trickery and fraud, about lies. Tell it by the fireside or in a marketplace or in a movie, almost any story is almost certainly some kind of lie. But not this time. No, this is a promise. During the next hour, everything you'll hear from us is really true and based on solid facts.
- Our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war, or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash - the triumphs, and the frauds, the treasures and the fakes. A fact of life: we're going to die. "Be of good heart," cry the dead artists out of the living past. "Our songs will all be silenced, but what of it? Go on singing." Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much.
