© Orson Welles | F for Fake, 1973

"Ladies and gentleman, by way of introduction, this is a film about trickery, fraud, about lies. Tell it by the fireside or in a marketplace or in a movie, almost any story is almost certainly some kind of lie. But not this time. This is a promise. For the next hour, everything you hear from us is really true and based on solid fact.

...

Our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war, or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash - the triumphs, the frauds, the treasures and the fakes. A fact of life: we're going to die. «Be of good heart,» cry the dead artists out of the living past. «Our songs will all be silenced, but what of it? Go on singing.» Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much."

Orson Welles, in F for Fake
