Exit Through The Giftshop

Recently our class went on a class trip to see "Exit Through the Gift Shop". The film is about an odd french shopkeeper and film maker and his journey through the crazy world that is street art. Thierry Guetta is the amateur film maker who films everything he sees. When he was visiting his cousins house he found his cousin was the legendary Invader because he found him making his characters in the basement.

After meeting and becoming friends with all the other famous street artist Thierry still hadn't met one, Banksy. He was determined he would meet him. After finally meeting and becoming friends with him Banksy tells Thierry he should try street art for himself. This gives him a passion and he instantly starts to think of ideas. From here on in his life gets pretty hectic but has spectacular results.

"The films a story of what happened when this guy tried to make a documentary about me, but he was actually a lot more interesting than I am. So now the film is kinda about him." -Banksy
