About
The documentary »Exit Through The Gift Shop« by world-famous street artist Banksy cleverly shifts between amateur documentation and mockumentary – it looks like a documentary, but is it really one? Banksy is a phantom: although his art adorns facades and walls all over the world, nobody knows who is behind the celebrated street artist. Until a crazy Frenchman and self-proclaimed documentary filmmaker named Thierry Guetta sets out to track Banksy down, which he actually manages through good contacts and a bit of luck. But then everything turns out differently than planned – a true (?) story: subversive, cheeky, entertaining and instructive!

Critics
7.9Very good
Critics praise the witty, subversive blurring of documentary and fiction and its sly critique of art commercialisation. They fault the rambling, chaotic structure and shifting focus between protagonists.
