Dirs: Banksy, Thierry Guetta UK 2010 86 mins Cert: UK 15

Like many of Banksy’s graffitied images, this is a kind of cinematic trompe l’oeil.

Introducing it at the Berlin Film Festival, Banksy announced that he hoped his film would do for street art what The Karate Kid did for martial arts.

He shows difficult it is to carry out and how hard it is to make a living from it.

Examining the explosion of street art in Los Angeles, the film looks at both Banksy and these new practitioners, who at the start of their careers were unpaid graffiti outlaws, pulling off daring and often dangerous visual stunts for the sheer hell of it.

A pleasurable film about friendship, art and survival.
