F For Fake (Special Edition) (US Version) DVD Region 1

Orson Welles has a ball examining the nature of what is real and what is fake in the funny, bizarre F FOR FAKE. Four people stand at the center of this documentary: Elmyr de Hory, who some believe forged more than a thousand masterpieces, many of which hang in some of the world's most famous museums; Clifford Irving, who is not only out to prove what a fake Elmyr is but also wrote a fake biography of Howard Hughes; Oja Kodar, who claims that Pablo Picasso painted 22 canvases of her that no one has ever seen; and Welles himself, who harks back to his days creating the havoc-causing THE WAR OF THE WORLDS for radio. But the true star of the film is the editing; from absurd stock footage to shots of Welles smirking into the camera from different locations to scenes with a monkey scurrying about, the film is vastly entertaining to watch. F FOR FAKE is an underrated, underappreciated work of comic genius about the nature of reality, celebrity, and art, by a master filmmaker showing a surprisingly wicked sense of humor.

"...A charming, witty meditation....If it is a fake, it's a marvelous one..." - Vincent, Canby (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 02/26/1977

"...[An] artfully assembled essay about forgery, swindling and living the good life on modest resources..." - Mike, Clark (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 07/28/1995

"Welles splices together a nonlinear meditation on fraud with a jump-cut, call-and-response style that predates MTV and other imitators." - Gregory, Kirschling (Entertainment Weekly Film Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 04/29/2005

"[The film] celebrates magic and sleight of hand, a skill Welles possessed from a young age and which he returns to with brio..." - Andy, Webster (Premiere Critic), Premiere, 05/01/2006

4 stars out of 5 -- "Playful one moment, contemplative the next, it's prankster radicalism....A masterpiece of deceit..." - Damien, Love (Uncut Critic), Uncut, 02/01/2007

4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] definition-defying examination of trickery itself." - Jonathan, Crocker (Total Film Critic), Total Film, 03/01/2007
