Exit Through the Gift Shop

Notorious and controversial British street artist, Banksy turned accidentally into a filmmaker with this outstanding documentary about art inspired life and vice versa. An eccentric Frenchman who has been obsessively filming random events finds focus documenting underground street artists including Invader, Shephard Fairey and ultimately the most famous and reclusive Banksy. After gaining the trust and friendship of Banksy, his real talent as a filmmaker is exposed which leaves Banksy to turn the camera around and tell the story which is hilariously funny, touching and what art is all about beyond the street art. The film shows the genius of Banksy who's a true artist with something to say and one of the most important one alive. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
