Als je de comments op IMDB verder leest kom je vaak 'mockumentary' tegen.. Ik denk ook dat het geen docu mis, maar what the heck.. IK vond dit wel een leuk stuk:
Real or fake?, 21 August 2010

And while this is a common question you would expect a woman to hear, in this case the question goes out to this documentary ... or is it "mockumentary"? And furthermore: Does it matter? Would you think less of the movie if it wasn't "real"? Though an internet search seems to provide facts, that the guy we are seeing here is real (and I'm not talking about Banksy, whose identity remains hidden) ... but is he really?
These are all questions that I cannot answer and even if some users here claim to know, I would second guess them. Could this be the most elaborate prank ever?
As you can see the movie does leave you with many questions and it starts off as a normal documentary, which seems to be aiming to show us street artists. And who has a bigger name right now then Banksy (search him if you don't know who that is). He even says a few things here and there (although it is very probable, that it isn't him ... but then again who is him? And how would we know if it is him? Or if he even made the movie?).
This movie is really out there (it really gets outrageous towards the end) ... so out there, that I can only deem it as one of the best documentaries I have seen. It is a real gem, that goes deep into questions about art and how we perceive it, how media sells it and many more questions. But it also can only be seen as a very funny documentary. Either way (and no matter how you feel about it), you won't be able not to talk about it. And yes I know it's a double negative and I used it, because I meant ... or did I?
