The Imposter ______________________________
Dir: Bart Layton USA 2012 98 mins Cert:15A
Language: English
Truth really is stranger than fiction in this superb documentary that had critics and audiences buzzing after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. A Texas family is seemingly convinced that a Frenchman found on the streets of Spain is their long-lost son, despite the differences in looks… and age… and accent. How could they mistake their blond 13-year-old for this swarthy adult, and how could the FBI fail to notice the many inconsistencies in the bizarre case? The plot that unfolds is full of twists and turns, as well as remarkably candid interviews from both the family and the 'imposter'. Director Bart Layton's masterful storytelling and sharp visuals make for compelling viewing - and the film really will keep you guessing. Variety describes The Imposter as 'mind-boggling… an unnerving portrait of identity manipulation'. - Sydney Film Festival 2012
