Masterpiece or Forgery? The Story of Elmyr De Hory
Himself
Elmyr de Hory was called "The Myth of our Century" when he was revealed as a master forger in 1968. Born in 1905, he made an estimated 1000 fake paintings, primarily in the style of the post-impressionists before he died - or disappeared - in 1976. In addition to faking paintings, Elmyr de Hory often faked his own identity, and traveled easily throughout Europe's high society.

Фальшивка
Self
Фильм-эссе, по форме напоминающий некоторые ленты Криса Маркера, представляет собой высокоритмичную нарезку документального и сфабрикованного видеоматериала, который перемежается игровыми фрагментами с участием самого Уэллса и его подружки Ойи Кодар. Основная тема — сложная диалектика истинного и фальшивого в искусстве — иллюстрируется примерами неординарных судеб фальсификаторов Эльмира де Хори и Клиффорда Ирвинга. Во второй половине фильма Уэллс мистифицирует зрителей историей о том, как Ойя Кодар якобы позировала для Пикассо.
