Street punk and artist, Banksy's rise to fame continues with the superbly funny documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop.

Debate continues concerning the authenticity of the documentary and many believe the movie and resulting fame of the artist Mr. Brainwash are an elaborate performance art piece, though by this point we are all wondering if life is anything other than a long performance art piece with an end we all avoid.

The most fascinating component of the film is the progressive transformation of the main character from film taker (not maker) to art star persona Mr. Brainwash. It is a wonderful and playful study on how we as people absorb and create identity; and why your mother warns you to not hang out with certain people.
