I believe its the rawest documentary i have ever and WILL ever see in my life. and that by that i mean every single thing you see on film is 100% genuine and real there is no acting, just "home video" you can call it , and interviews. It's a remarkable story as well, and so special because theres so much footage. I believe Thierry was a mental person, obsessive. and as the narrator said, he finally had a focus (street art) for his passion (filming ). And then his focus was Banksy, and then his art show, cause as he said himself, so god damn innocently and blissfully ignorant he says "I did not want to disappoint Banksy"

So he went all out.To comment on the OP's suspicions for funding, Thierry was obviously doing very well, his own designer fashion store in LA??? You're making a f_cking killing for any retard who doesn't know that. He would turn 50 dollar products into 5000 dollar profits. He took time off to film. And it was mentioned he took out a mortgage from his home (or business, not sure) to finance his art show.

Everything is explained I dont know why the OP is being skeptical. Banksy didnt ask you to film for him because Banksy doesnt know you, but Thierry was referred to from people Banksy trusted.

This has gotta be one of the best movies I have ever seen and its for how incredibly real it is yet truly remarkable at the same time. Somehow this is the thing that Banksy has always tried to avoid and now all of a sudden he's turning into what he was never about, and he did it himself so inadvertently.

But this is good for him, he just shouldnt advertise for himself the way MBW did.

But yeah, why bother pondering, just take it for what it is and enjoy it. love this movie

    The big reveal of street art + the history of an "art nouveau riche". Oasis' Liam appeared in the film

    Terry is a typical example of a villain's ambition, not Banksy's personal documentary at all

  • Banksy: Yeah, I was faced with that terrible thing, when somebody shows you their work and everything about it is shit... so... you don't really know where to start.

  • Thierry Guetta: That's why I call myself Mr. Brainwash. It's because everything that I do... somewhere... it brainwash your face!
