Director: Arne Birkenstock
Завораживающий, наводящий на размышления и вместе с тем неожиданно веселый документальный фильм о жизни и временах Вольфганга Бельтракки, который водил за нос международный мир художественного искусства в течение 40 лет, подделывая и продавая картины мастеров XX века. Колоссальная личность, ответственная за самый крупный скандал в мире искусства послевоенного времени.
AWARDS
A mesmerizing, thought-provoking yet surprisingly amusing documentary on the life and times of Wolfgang Beltracchi, who tricked the international art world for almost 40 years by forging and selling paintings of early 20th-century masters. A larger-than-life personality who was responsible for the biggest art forgery scandal of the postwar era.
