Exit Through The Gift Shop

Exit Throught the Gift Shop, directed by Bansky, is a documentary that followed Thierry Guetta an extravagant french man who is obsessed with filming every moment of the day. While filming Thierry happens apon street art. He then begins to follow these artists filiming them tag and helping them paste their enourmous pictures on walls or bilboards all over the world. After years of beign followed by Thierry the artist Banksy found it necessary to make a film about this entreouenuer using the footage Mr. Guetta shot. The documentary took one through the process of street art and gave one an appreciattion for this short lived form of art. I found this film, especially for being a documentary, highly entertaining. If one has an appreciation for art then I highly recommend Exit Through The Gift Shop.As a director Banksy, remaining unidentified,didn't portray Thierry as one would expect. This documentary held my attention and is not predictable nor what i expected. I rate this movie a 9.
