Exit Through The Gift Shop

Purportedly a movie that started off as a documentary of street art by the filmmaker Thierry Guetta, this film morphs into an examination of what happens when the documentarian drinks deep from the Kool-Aid and the filmmaker turns into a street artist himself.

The twist when Thierry meets the famous and secretive street artists, Banksy, and begins filming his artistic activities, to when his hastily put together documentary does not meet expectations to his transformation into Mr. BrainWash is just as fascinating as the documentary We Live In Public.

Is it art? Documentary? Recreation? Fantasy? Commentary?
Is the snake eating itself.

Who cares, the ride is worth the price of admission.
