Who has seen the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop about street art, Banksy and Thierry Guetta? What are your thoughts on it?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I sat through about ¾ of it in a theater. The sound track was set at “Let’s deafen our audience” and the visuals were badly light and sometimes impossible to identify. So I left. There was some truth to it, I guess, but also some fudging. I would say it was a good idea that was really poorly executed. The idea of the self-reference that extends to both the audio and visual was ill-thought out. Maybe it plays better to much younger ears and eyes?
