Almost True: The Noble Art of Forgery(1997)

Almost True: The Noble Art of Forgery is a Norwegian film about the legendary art forger Elmyr de Hory, whose audacious career deceived the world's most prestigious galleries and collectors. Directed by Knut W. Jorfald and spoken in English, the film explores de Hory's cunning methods and the thin line between artistic genius and criminal enterprise. De Hory gained further notoriety as a subject of Orson Welles' 1974 documentary F for Fake, which blurred fact and fiction around his extraordinary life.

A fascinating portrait of ambition, deception, and the art world's vulnerabilities.
