The Imposter (2012)
Movie
Released
A young Frenchman's claim to be a missing American teenager is only the beginning of the uncertainty. Bart Layton sets confident testimony against discrepancies, letting the audience feel how readily a persuasive account can organise what it sees. The interviews are documentary encounters; the atmospheric scenes illustrating the past are reconstructions. That distinction matters especially here, where the pleasure of playing detective should not make an insinuation feel like proof.

About The Imposter
In 1994, a 13-year-old boy disappeared without a trace from his home in San Antonio, Texas. Three-and-a-half years later, he is found alive in a village in southern Spain with a horrifying story of kidnap and torture. His family is overjoyed to bring him home. But all is not quite as it seems.
