I just watched this documentary on netflix, it was pretty entertaining and really well done, definitely not a boring doc about an artist talking for 90 minutes, for anyone who wasn't seen it, don't read too far into this thread (this first post is safe), it'll spoil the twists and turns that keep you on your feet.

The film starts off about filmmaker Thierry Guetta had been constantly documenting the underground world of street art for years, seeking to meet/film the mysterious banksy to finish off his film. and ends up really questioning what street art and being a famous/successful artist is about.

I think pretty much everyone here would enjoy it.

Really want to see this, it got an extremely limited cinema release and wasn't out on DVD when I realised I missed it.

Loved it. Allthough the hoax feeling is still there.

ZacD

what part of it seems fake?

There's no way terry's rise to fame was real. /justsayin :P

Just google a bit. It's either Banksy is a genius or it's a true story. But it just fits all to well. A crappy pop art artist that sells for a lot of money, bit of a statement. Questioning art...

Jungsik

definitely interested

Great movie....I agree with Mr Konstruct and Mad... Think this was Banksy poking a bit of fun at himself and the "art Community"

Just watched it. Entertaining and making me question art. oh ya MBW, wtf. Sigh.

I've been curious about this one for a while. I'll check it out for something to watch now that most tv shows are done or on hiatus. Thanks for the recommendation.
