Has anyone here ever seen 'F for Fake' by Orson Welles?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

What's your opinion? Worth a rental?

[Arkham House]

1. Absolutely!

This is a *very* underrated film, I think one of Orson's very best movies. But be prepared to be puzzled--nothing in it is what it seems...but that's what makes it fun...

3. i hear it's an impossible movie to describe

kind of a documentary, but not really

i love welles, so i'm curious what it's like

2. Very much worth a rental.

You won't regret it.

4. Fantastic! We can't talk about it, though. It's about art and movies and

truth. But you can't exactly discuss it. I use it in my art classes.

5. i hear it's sort of about propaganda/misinformation, too

which interests me

[Hissyspit]

6. Yes. Welles talks about the War of the Worlds "hoax" and an art forger

and the Howard Hughes will scams, peoples gullibility, all in a very entertaining way.

7. cool-ordered it from netflix

along with 'left of the dial'-the Air America documentary

8. It is clearly low-budget, but don't let that distract. Also, pay attention

as you watch. You can't HALF-pay attention.

Also, there is a new great set of his "Mr. Arkadin" worth getting.

9. robert anton wilson had an essay on it

however i have never seen the movie offered for rent, wasn't quite sure if it wasn't all an elaborate fake
