THE INVENTION OF LYING


(The Invention of Lying)
A film directed by Ricky Gervais, Matthew Robinson
2009 - 100 minutes - Color - Dolby Digital - 1.85 : 1
Picture

Synopsis


Ricky  Gervais  writes,  directs  and  stars  in this inspired conceptual comedy set in a world in which lying -- even  the  concept  of  a  lie  --
does  not  even  exist.  Everyone -- from politicians to car salesmen -- speaks   the   truth   and   nothing   but,   with   no   thought   of   the consequences.   But   when   a   down-on-his-luck  loser named Mark (Gervais) suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word  is  assumed  to  be  the absolute  truth,  Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to  realize  that  things  are getting  a  little  out of control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been able  to  lie  his  way into: the heart of the woman he loves.
