Lies; Jonathan Reid, Peter Walsh, 1976, OV (angl.); Jonathan Reid,Peter Walsh, 1976, versions: OR,

Director: Jonathan Reid, Peter Walsh

Filmed on the set of director Ján Kadár’s touching, acclaimed feature film “Lies My Father Told Me”, “Lies” thrusts the viewer directly into the creative process of dramatic moviemaking. Along with Kadár, whose “The Shop On Main Street” won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, we experience first-hand the frustrations and joys of rehearsal and shooting. We watch, without the usual intermediary narrator, as Kadár works tirelessly with his team of actors, writer, producer, cinematographer, technicians and assistants on several emotionally charged scenes. Kadár builds each one “brick by brick”; then we see the elements come together in the finished product. Interviews with the filmmakers are interwoven with on-set footage, giving us fresh insights into how a dramatic movie is made.
