Orson Welles's last directorial project, "F For Fake," delves into a dark world of fraud, scandal and lies with unabashed intrigue. Three distinct vignettes following painter Elmyr de Hory, writer Clifford Irving and Orson Welles himself, guide the viewer through Welles's erudite musings and ultimately, grand critique on film, art and creative manipulation. http://vimeo.com/46702565
The film hosts an endless number of take-aways but ironically, what rests on the surface is perhaps most poignant which is, things are not always as they appear to be. In the case of the above objects, utility is disguised by beauty and design.
