  ★★★ Watched 15 Jan 2020

  The guns have stopped because we are about to attack. Not even our generals are mad enough to shell their own men. They feel it's more sporting to let the Germans do it.

  Week 12 - Auteurs - Orson Welles

  A fast paced, self-indulgent, and somewhat incoherent documentary on fakery, mostly focusing on Elmyr De Hora's life and biography.

  I quickly found myself lost on what Welles' is trying to document and had to open Wikipedia to read the story of Elmyr De Hora in order to follow. Based on this, I can only call it a poor documentary. This is too bad, as the central question on what constitutes art and fakery is quite interesting, but Welles spends 90 minutes beating around the bush.

The narrative was not very strong and very cliché (which I will let pass, as they very well can have been derived from this movie or period).

  I am not quite sure what to think of…
