One of my all time favorites. A brilliant look at art, lies, forgery, truth, cinema and acting. Absolute masterpiece and a brilliant end to one of the most brilliant directorial careers of all time.

For any fan of experimental cinema, this is a must.

Orson Welles' documentary on the greatest art forger in the world (and his biographer, also a con artist of sorts, whose story intersects with Howard Hughes' and thus with Citizen Kane's), F for Fake, delightfully matches form to subject. You're never quite sure what to believe, and Welles' free-wheeling narration plays as many tricks with our perception as does his maverick editing. It's not explicitly discussed, but movies are a kind of con themselves, a juxtaposition of images that make you believe in a continuous narrative. Just because we show a woman boarding a train doesn't mean she's the mother of the boy waiting on the platform, and so on. But film opens you up to believing, and F for Fake, with its documentary trappings, has the bent of truth, only filtered through the lens of the raconteur. What to believe? And does believing make it true? Valuable? Welles has a lot of fun here, but he throws up some intriguing questions about art.
