That was the best art documentary I have ever watched in my entire life. I highly suggest that everyone interested in art watch it. It is wonderfully inpirational: It already has my gears turning, and my head in my sketch book. Although Banksy's visual identity is not revealed, and I wasn't expecting it to be. However, the film does allow for an insightful glance into the workings of his mind, procedure, and over all nature.

The film follows a French store owner, obsessed with video taping his life, as he descends into the underground world of street art. It also then shows the audience from more of a third person point of view his career as an artist after his apprenticeships with Space Invader (his nephew), Shepard Fairey, and the ever elusive Banksy. An optimal candidate for the AVAM, Thierry Guetta transcended his life as a bored man in a stagnant career to M.W.B. or Mister Brainwash; one of the foremost progressive street artists in the world. Two thumbs way way up, and a must watch for all.

Merry Belated Christmas
God Bless Us Everyone
