A documentary centered on a young Frenchman who convinces a grieving Texas family that he is their 16-year-old son who has been missing for 3 year.
A masterful British doc, The Imposter tells the story of a Texan boy who went missing and suddenly ‘reappeared’ three-and-a-half years later in Spain.
To say any more about what turns out to be a remarkable story would be to spoil the outrageous, almost unbelievable twists and turns contained in this dark and fascinating doc. Consistently compelling and superbly shot (the dramatic reconstruction scenes are as cinematic as any Hollywood thriller), this one is a must-see.
