Review: Exit Through the Gift Shop
It is probably best to state up front for any fans of Banksy that the main subject of Exit Through The Gift Shop is not really Banksy. Although he appears on screen his face and voice are both masked and he is definitely not the true star of the film. The central character is a [...]
