F for Fake
Movie Information
In Brief: The Hendersonville Film Society returns this week with Orson Welles' F for Fake (1973), the great filmmaker's last properly completed work. Welles' look at two famous fakes is a playful film — as much a feat of cinematic sleight-of-hand, laced with autobiography as anything else. At the time, Welles thought he'd found a brand-new medium in this "essay film" format, but it didn't pan out that way. By itself, however, F For Fake has much to recommend it. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on Jan. 7, 2014.
