F For Fake



The Criterion Collection recently issued an amazing 2-DVD set of Orson Welles' final masterpiece F For Fake.

This is Welles at his finest, exploring the role of filmmaker as charlatan, counterfeiter, and magician. All of Welles' films play with illusion and ambiguity but Orson was at the peak of his powers here.

Also included is the original 9 minute trailer, a masterpiece in its own right.
