Review of F for Fake (1973) by Robert P — 26 Mar 2008
Insighful, inspiring and yet experimental examination of art and trickery and the middle ground between the two. "A magician is just an actor playing the part of a magician". Influential years later with the fast cutting and jumps in stroyline / setting.
As well as being riveting, the insights on film making as a form of trickery are profound. Although ostensibly a documentary, the rhythym of the editing and other features make this feel more like a movie.
