Exit Through the Gift Shop is de eerste film van de wereldberoemde street artist Banksy. Het vertelt het verhaal van een excentrieke Franse ‘documentaire’ maker die als doel heeft Banksy te vinden en zijn vertrouwen te winnen. Maar de documentaire krijgt een spectaculaire wending als Banksy de camera overneemt en een film maakt over deze maker ‘Mr Brainwash’. Exit Through the Gift Shop laat exclusief materiaal zien van ’s werelds meest beroemde street artists als Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Space Invader en meer van wereld's meest beruchte graffiti artiesten in de vorm van kunst en interviews.

A great and extremely thoughtful work on the domestication of revolt and the commercialization of subversiveness. Painfully and humorously accurate testimony of what Mark Fisher, for example, portrays in his book “Capitalist Realism" as one of the dominant qualities of contemporary capitalism. How even radical acts such as commemorating the Guantanamo hostages at the heart of consumer carefreeness can turn into snobby posturing, this is endlessly disturbing and instigating to reflect on the role of art in the public space. Last but not least, it is also a precisely constructed "mockumentary", which testifies to Banksy's filmmaking talent.

Art has many forms and spray painting is one of them. This isn't a documentary about graffiti artists; it's a documentary about alternative artists in general, which Banksy directed and sort of oversees. It features artists I don't know, but who have something to say. People like that are interesting. For me, the documentary itself worked more as a showcase of artists than anything else.
