CBC’s The Talented Mr. Rosenberg proves the summer of the scammer knows no season
Oct. 21 on The Passionate Eye, CBC, 9 p.m. EST; streaming on CBC Gem starting Oct. 21The summer of the scammer may be in the rearview mirror – so long, Anna Delvey, Adam Neumann, Elizabeth Holmes and, yes, even you, Mr. Tinder Swindler – but the lurid pull of the long con remains.
A well-dressed gentleman with the gift of gab, who continues to haunt the city’s old-money Yorkville neighbourhood, Rosenberg is described by various talking heads – including law enforcement officials, betrayed lovers, ashamed investors and even one of his own daughters – as a kind of triple threat: a man with expertise in romance, art and investment fraud. Or as one of Avrich’s interview sources puts it best: “He’s the Typhoid Mary of fraud. He can’t stop infecting the world.
Somehow, Avrich managed to persuade Rosenberg himself to sit down for a series of one-on-one interviews. Perhaps the star subject felt that he could simply charm himself out of the more unsettling accusations being thrown his way. But the end result, which ranges from head-slapping self-aggrandizement to genuinely testy frustration, instead reveals a squirmy bit of miscalculated foolishness.
Rosenberg’s decision to defend himself in front of the camera is almost such a bewildering move that you begin to wonder how he might have possibly fooled anyone. But that’s ultimately for the courts to decide. While Avrich certainly shines a bright, burning spotlight on Rosenberg’s character , ultimately the film is more concerned with the art, not the artist, of deception – and why we’re so often eager to buy a story too good to be, well, you know. The truth, it hurts.
