Exit Through The Gift Shop

Empire“A provocative and typically post-Postmodern debut...” Banksy’s debut is a provocative film about artistic intent and irony, a delicious put-on that will linger long after Richard Hawley’s anthem, Tonight The Streets Are Ours, has faded...

Total Film “Sprayed wall-to-wall with his subversive wit...” Interviewed in identity-concealing shadow, the appealingly wry Banksy freely admits he’s no film pro. But while stylistically the film’s merely adequate, its French subject is as diverting as a motorway pile-up...

In the end it is as much about questions of identity, authenticity and authorship then it is about the evolution of street art...
