Description

The incredible true story of how the world's greatest Street Art movie was never made...

"A film about a man who tried to make a film about me" is how renowned British graffiti artist Banksy describes this feature.

Banksy is used to fiercely guarding his identity to avoid prosecution, so it was perhaps no surprise when he refused to be filmed by an eccentric French shop owner named Thierry Guetta.

Exit Through The Gift Shop traces Thierry's attempts to capture the world of graffiti art in thrilling detail, following many of the most infamous figures at work in the streets. We trace Thierry's efforts to locate and befriend Banksy only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. An incendiary true story of low-level criminality, companionship and incompetence.

The story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.

Review by Miranda on 15th February, 2012
4 stars "Wondering if this was fake or not..."

This was a very different movie than what I was expecting. It has elements of genius and as someone who studied art history, the statement that Banksey was trying to make – and protect “real” street art – was amazing. Worth a watch!

Review by Kate on 16th March, 2011
4 stars "The ongoing argument; vandalism vs street art lives on....."

My bad!!! I didn't read the summary properly and I thought it was a DVD about Bansky…but it was (once again) Bansky behind the lens.
Its about Thierry Guetta, whom I didn't know…but did know his work.
Enjoyable and informative......
Maybe I could give up my 9–5 and be a street artist???????

5 stars "WOW - Perfect gift for anyone in advertising!"

This DVD is remarkably good, I purchased for my partner and she loves it, I must admit, I love it tooo – coming from a sparky who doesnt really care too much for this type of stuff!
