F for Franco

Art theorist Francisco Ricardo examines questions of art, authenticity, and celebrity through a collage of experimental filmmaking full of interviews, spontaneous epiphanies and poetry for true cineastes who love movies about movies or documentaries about how we create value. For those who enjoyed Morgan Neville's documentary "They'll Love Me When I'm Dead," this is a contemporary glimpse into many of the same institutions of value and meaning explored by Orson Welles in "The Other Side of the Wind" and Neville's documentary about the filmmaker's point of view. "F for Franco" leads viewers through the philosophical reflections of James Franco, Frank Bidart, and Francisco Ricardo.
