About
F for Fake

Orson Welles discovers the French New Wave. Unfortunately, this whirlwind of cinematic composition is mostly devoted to a dud of a story about art forgery, and doesn't quite succeed in its meta-points about trickery and deceit. Orson Welles wears a cape, but his onscreen presence feels like a waste of screen time, and perhaps F could have explored Fakeness more fully if he had remained an acousmêtre.
