Portrait of Christian Gerhartsreiter, who posed as a Rockefeller heir for decades, but who was, in fact, a con artist and a murderer.
I don't recall ever hearing about this story before watching the documentary on Netflix. I feel like I must have because it is so extraordinary, but perhaps not.
This film is darn near perfect. The court testimony, the interviews with neighbors and William Quigley, you really get a sense for who this man is and what he was able to accomplish. Other than the murder aspect (which he denies), there are some things to admire in here. I don't think we've heard the last word on this story.
