In the world of street art, few people command as much admiration as Banksy, the enigmatic and still anonymous king of graffiti who is rumoured to hail from Bristol. Putting down his stencils and cans of spray paint, the artist tries his hand behind the camera for a change with this amusing documentary narrated by Rhys Ifans. The film has been painstakingly constructed from hours of video camera footage captured by French amateur filmmaker Thierry Guetta, who intended to document the explosion of street art by interviewing key figures such as Space Invader, Shepard Fairey and Swoon. In the process of making his epic and interviewing the famously secretive Banksy, Guetta was bitten by the street art bug himself and metamorphosed into his later ego Mr Brainwash.
