EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP (1-25-11)

Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) - ***

Has the art world been expolited by media-hype? This strange and amusing documentary (directed by artist Banksy) tells the story of Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant living in LA, and his obsession with street art.  A very odd story, there has been much speculation that the whole film is a sort of hoax.  Personally, I don't think so, but the debate only adds to the film's intrigue.
