Directed by Lasse Hallström

While F for Fake follows the painter Elmyr de Hory, who paints copies of the great masters and passes them on as authentic, it also concerns a writer, Clifford Irving, who is doing a book about this painter. Later in life, Irving wrote a book he claimed was the autobiography of Howard Hughes, which in fact was a fake. The Hoax amusingly and dramatically tells the story of Irving, played perfectly by Richard Gere. (35mm presentation)
