An interview with the two men most responsible for the final product. Watching it in its entirety is most satisfying, but those in a rush can fast-forward to 28:40.

As much as it saddens some of you that Mister Brainwash is completely serious and genuine there is simply no denying it.

I suppose it's quite fun to imagine the whole experiment as some elaborate hoax brought to us by the mighty Banksy, and indeed the story is incredible (in the truest sense of the word), but perhaps it's the peculiar truth that makes the film an even stronger commentary on art.

The filmmakers purposefully played with the narrative, and by this very token of brilliance allow Exit Through the Gift Shop to play out as a work of art in and of itself.

Sorry to bust your bubble if you think this movie is a "joke". It isn't. It's simply one of the finest documentaries you'll ever see. The real world is a far more splendid place than some of you make it out to be...

this prank shít is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, and it would be the stupidest prank ever made and completely devaluate the meaning of the movie.

and Banksy's art is nothing like that. did you even pay attention to the movie? ugh. this prank deal is really starting to piss me off.
