Exit Through the Gift Shop

A wild documentary about a filmmaker following street artists who decides, “I could do that.” A fast-paced and pretty straightforward doc, but calls into question so many things about the definition of art and its purpose. Fascinating and worth seeing, even though I often wondered, as I was watching, how much of it was a hoax, or contrived for the benefit of the camera, and whether there was anything inauthentic about that. To elaborate on whether or not something is a hoax or not is sort of missing the point. Whether the story or characters are true or not, it is authentically entertaining and thought-provoking.
