Welles\u2019s message is that once a fake exists, it permeates its surroundings until real and fake blur. Fake events make the film confusing and that is exactly the point. It is a work of art in itself, and also a groundbreaking analysis of forgery and deception through art across the media of painting and film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Molly George<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"alignwide has-normal-font-size wp-block-heading\">Source: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"alignwide has-normal-font-size wp-block-heading\">Welles, Orson, dir. <em>F for Fake<\/em>, 1973.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This dramatized documentary tells the story of the famed forger Elmyr de Hory.
