Things that inspire us: Orson Welles: F for Fake
F for Fake is the last film by Orson Welles, released in 1974. It depicts and assembles the career of a forger. It explores the notion of truth, authorship, and value in Art generally and in the art market specifically.
The film is based on the personal stories of the art forger, his biographer, Orwell and his wife. The narrative extracts different perspectives on the story from those personal viewpoints.
Why we like it:
• Everything is true!
• It explores the boundaries of narration in cinema.
Critics usually describe it as a film essay because of the use of various genres in its core.
