This video examines the life of the celebrated author of Being There and The Painted Bird. In the '60s, Kosinski, darling of the New York literary scene and Hollywood gadfly, and filmmaker and author Jack Kuper both published accounts of their orphaned childhoods in wartime Poland. Kuper's film recounts his meeting with Kosinki in New York in the late '60s, which led to a relationship layered with falsehoods, deceptions, traps, and tricks of memory. Shifting from Toronto to New York to Poland, where it retraces Kosinki's wartime steps, the film exposes the reality behind the fabrications Kosinski wove around himself and his work.
