(MOVIE REVIEW) Exit Through The Gift Shop - A Banksy Film


This is the inside story of Street Art - a brutal and revealing account of what happens when fame, money and vandalism collide. Exit Through the Gift Shop follows an eccentric shop-keeper turned amateur film-maker as he attempts to capture many of the world's most infamous vandals on camera, only to have a British stencil artist named Banksy turn the camcorder back on its owner with wildly unexpected results. "Exit Through the Gift Shop", Which I feel will be Banky's first and only film. It's perfectly designed and enjoyable on multiple levels: on one as an entertaining, illuminating mini-history of "street art" and on another - one entirely more convoluted and entertaining - as a light-hearted "up your ass" to both street artists and their patrons and every buddy else.
