Review of F for Fake (1973) by Aaron G — 25 Nov 2012

Seriously entertaining. In a way, I feel Welles takes the piss, as it were, more than proclaiming himself as a genius--as some of these other reviews hint at. While Welles portrays Elmyr with sympathy and humor, he slips himself in there to be examined under the same lens.

Now we all know Welles is no fake, but he certainly thinks trickery and even artistic left has its place, in fact, it's under rated.
