Francois Reichenbach won this year's Oscar award for documentary films. Review presents his latest film, made in conjunctions with the BBC:
"Elmyr - The True Picture?" - a portrait of 'the world's greatest art forger'.
Elmyr de Hory, who lives on the island of Ibiza, was recently revealed as the originator of an estimated 1,000 pictures purporting to be by Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, Dufy, and others. Reichenbach's film, in which Elmyr demonstrates his 'art,' presents a portrait of an outrageous man with an extraordinary story to tell.
