Exit through the gift shop.

You either like Banksy or you dont
Myself, Im not arsed. It is what it is. Like the movement he is involved in or not, this film turns the tables on the film maker Thierry and before you know it, he wants to become an artist himself. Fair enough, he does skip alot of the important parts of becoming a writer, like paying dues and putting the years in. The end result of making over 1 million dollars selling what is essentially other peoples art altered cant be sniffed at if turning your graff into a business is your thing.
But more importantly, the film asks the question why people are going mad for "street art" all of a sudden?
Its a well put together film that even non fans of street art will enjoy.
