The Greatest Lie Ever Told: F for Fake 1973

[@boris1932]

F for Fake was a wonderful surprise to me when I first watched it. Great film what more could we expect from him. My other favorites he directed and /or wrote are Citizen Kane, Lady from Shanghai and Touch of Evil --- I have to state that recently I found out that Welles was taking prescription sleeping pills at the time he was making the Paul Masson commercial. I guess he was a bit hung over from the pills while shooting it.

Great video. Thanks for including Welles and the Kipling excerpt at the end.

F for Fake is one of the great masterworks in cinema's long history. It is so far ahead of any other documentary ever made I doubt very much it will be ever equalled. Is it so complex, beautifully cut and conceived it's always a joy and an inspiration to watch.
