F For Fake is one of a kind. One of the few films that can legitimately be called Nabokovian (or Borgsian).

What is maddening is that there are flashes of Welles brilliance here and there, but never enough to do a whole film. The DVD has a great documentary about all his unfinished projects.

Damn few better films than Citizen Kane and The Third Man.

Everyone would stand in line to laud him as a giant, but no one would finance any of his work.
