Exit through the Gift Shop: Ironically funny

I definitely use the term “funny” loosely.  This film opens up the awesome (… and totally illegal) world of street art.  Following some of the most infamous artists, like Shepard Fairey, this film takes a peek into the newest trend in the art community.  From traditional and tacky graffiti to actually amazing and profound pieces, this film takes you through it all, ultimately landing on the rise of a truly untalented artist.  The way the general public then interacts with the resulting art, is both enlightening and terrifying, like a clown mirror.  Most people truly are a bunch of mindless droids. Though I must say, I liked the work too...
Verdict: An absolute MUST (See it)
