시놉시스
Sometimes young girls are so eager to become successful in the entertainment industry that they have to make difficult choices that may go against their moral code. In these 4 tales, lines get blurred even further when these tasty starlets encounter men who are less than truthful about their true intentions. It's a valuable lesson these young ladies won't soon forget.
스페인의 이비자 섬에는 희대의 사기꾼 2명이 있다. 세잔느와 르누아르의 모조화를 단숨에 그릴 수 있는 호리와, 호리의 전기를 쓰는 어빙이 바로 그들. 어빙은 이전에 하워드 휴즈의 가짜 전기를 쓴 게 밝혀지지만, 무엇이 진실인지는 알 수가 없다. 허버트 조지 웰스의 소설 <우주 전쟁>을 실제 상황 보도를 가장한 라디오 드라마로 만들어 미국을 충격의 도가니에 몰아넣었던 오슨 웰스가 다시 시도한 페이크 다큐멘터리 형식의 영화로, 편집을 통해 피카소가 오야 코다르를 훔쳐보는 듯한 장면을 연출해 냈다. 파블로 피카소가 ‘예술은 하나의 거짓말이다’라고 이야기 한 데에, 웰스는 ‘진실을 이해하기 위한 거짓말이다’라고 덧붙였다. 프랑수아 트뤼포는 이 작품의 편집이 특별하며 다큐멘터리와 같은 형식을 통해 시적인 느낌을 전달한다고 했다.
