Exit Through The Gift Shop

no rest for the wicked,exit through the gift shop which i was led 2 believe was a film about cult street artist banksy,but actually is more like a potted history of street art +banksy+other stuff basically a zany french man living in la starts of selling second hand clothes to rich poeple for inflated prices,then he becomes a compulsive filmmaker filming every waking moment,then chances into the street art world via his cousin "invader"this then connects him with just about every other street artist on the planet,he follows them,he helps them,he films them with no real agenda,he hears about the elusive banksy but is told he will never meet the cult master,until one day banksy arrives in la and fate finally makes their paths intertwine ,what follows is a bizzare and sometimes comedic exchange of ideas and values where your never sure whats real or whats satire,but thats where the fun lies ,the film will give inspiration to losers,misfits and freaks everywhere if this guy can do it anyone can!...or can they?
