Exit Through The Gift Shop

This weekend, I finally caught up to watching EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP. It’s a fantastic documentary about the street art movement, its big players, and the birth of its first celebrity hack. Here’s the first five minutes…

I admit I question whether or not this documentary is fiction. The so-called filmmaker/documentarian, Thierry Guetta, attempts to make a film about the notorious street artist, Banksy, and others, but instead becomes the subject of the film as Banksy turns the camera back on Thierry to reveal him as a hack artist. The story is right on the edge of believability and I think I am content with that. It’s more interesting to not know.

Considering my comic book series, LACKLUSTER WORLD, heavily showcases street art and its effects on urban populations, and since you likely read and enjoy my comics, I thought I would bring EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP to your attention.

It’s currently streaming on Netflix. Link

All it takes to sell me is a triptych of creative directors, a shoegazer soundtrack, and general wtfuckery. I’ll be there opening weekend.
