This is Orson Welle’s swan song, and it comes with a warning. We cannot pass an unoriginal piece of art as a masterpiece. This message transcends all mediums of art. Banksy translated into his medium in “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, and Elmyr is a complete persona of Terry from the previously mentioned film. I really wish I would have seen this movie before “Exit Through the Gift Shop” because it cemented in my mind that Banksy created a completely fake film in order to challenge the way that street art is moving. Both films give a warning about art in our current culture and both do so in a similar fashion. I think F for Fake moves forward too slowly for it’s own good, and that lack of direction is the one thing holding it back. Otherwise an insightful and brilliantly crafted commentary on art, or the lack there of. But I can’t explain this film nearly as well as Mr. Orson Welles:

“What we professional liars hope to serve is truth. I’m afraid the pompous word for that is “art”. "

“Ladies and gentleman, by way of introduction, this is a film about trickery, 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. This is a promise. For the next hour, everything you hear from us is really true and based on solid fact. "
