Synopsis

Globally renowned graffiti artist Banksy fiercely guards his anonymity to avoid prosecution. The line between what is real and what might be fake begins to blur when a kooky French shop keeper attempts to film Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner.

Our take

Hilarious, zeitgeist-y, strange and surprising, this quasi-documentary directed by the anonymous activist Banksy profiles his fan & fellow street artist Thierry Guetta, challenging our expectations at every turn. Nominated for an Academy Award® in 2011.
