exit through the gift shop(M)

Dir: Banksy
2010 UK 87mins 35mm
The British graffiti artist is renowned for producing iconic street art and fiercely guarding his identity to avoid prosecution. Little surprise then, that he was unwilling 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 best known vandals 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.

'It's also one of the best, most karmically satisfying comedies of the year, much to the chagrin of the people who are in it.' - Boston.com, Ty Burr

'...offers an absorbing glimpse of bracingly subversive slice of the cuture, as well as some tantaliszing images of Banksy at work.' - Washington Post, Ann Hornaday
