    The dazzling editing and the magician narration that confuses the identity, the fakes in the story and the false records are the deception and blind obedience of the art in pursuit of fame and fortune. The film echoes Orson Welles' personal works and emotions, and it also puts forward an argument for The deconstruction of "documentary" proves that genre films do not constrain creation, and that a complete film is built on the multiple shooting skills of Citizen Kane so...

    Orson Welles is a god. The first work made Citizen Kane, and the last work was such a documentary. While exploring art and truth, it also achieves dramatization and stylization of poetic playfulness, narcissism, and reflection. He has everything you...

    Eassy film model, complex structure, all rely on the director's various flashes of inspiration. As a digression, Orson Welles is the director of writing and writing, with a model face, a Virgo will win an Oscar, a "documentary" will create a new form, and in her later years, she has a model-shaped high-IQ...

    It seems to return to the beginning of film history, the rediscovery and editing of material, the "dialectical form of film" derived from Eisenstein's rational montage. Alain Badiou: "Film can show metaphysics and metaphysics disintegration. In a movement unique to cinema, showing both a metaphysical myth and its demise. He (Orson Welles) is both a A great montage director, but also a great long-take director. Because he is both the one who presents the myth and the one who destroys the myth...

    It's like pointing directly at Francois Reichenbach's nose and saying you're wasting such good material. Lao Tzu will show you a real movie. Interspersed with their own stories. Might be enlightened. By the way, it discusses the issue of life and death. Then it really became his...

    fake

    Orson Welles
    is different from other deception-themed films. This film is too boring in form, and seems to be exploring artistic value and authenticity through records. In fact, it is to expose the disguised human nature through the art of authenticity. In other words, the entire film is buried...

    rare orphan

    If I had to describe the importance of this film in one sentence, it would be:

    The greatest genius of the day movie, almost the only movie made in the second half of his life.

F for Fake quotes

  • Clifford Irving: I've known Elmyr for about eight years. We met when I was broke. When I was writing fiction. I wasn't selling it very well.

    Orson Welles: His fiction didn't sell. Elmyr's biographer's a highly gifted writer. Does it say something for this age of ours that he could only make it big by fakery?

    Elmyr de Hory: Le grande surprise!

    Orson Welles: Cliff Irving's caper may well be the hoax of the century, but, really, this is not, you know, in any way the century of the hoax. We hanky-panky men have always been with you.

    Elmyr de Hory: That's a fact.

    Orson Welles: What's new?

    Clifford Irving: The experts.

    Elmyr de Hory: The so-called experts...

    Orson Welles: Experts are the new oracles.

    Elmyr de Hory: - are greatly pretentious...

    Orson Welles: They speak to us with the absolute authority of the computer.

    Elmyr de Hory: - pretend to know something what they only know very superficially.

    Orson Welles: And we bow down before them. They're God's own gift to the faker.

    Clifford Irving: All the world loves to see the experts and the establishment made a fool of.

  • Orson Welles: With your permission, a bit of verse by Kipling: When first the flush of a new-born sun fell on the green and gold / Our father Adam sat under the tree and scratched with a stick in the mold / And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart / Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, 'It's pretty, but is it Art?'
