Banksy, elusive king of street-art, we floored beautifully with the wall Make . Just the real-fake documentary that he started wondering: "Is this a film about Banksy or of Banksy? "We will never know really, since history is precisely that of a diversion. They came to see Banksy, there will be Thierry Guetta. This is an improbable French, based in Los Angeles that we see is taking a passion for street art and follow camera in hand all the great names of this freestyle discipline (posters, murals, stencils, mosaics, installations). He said preparing a documentary film but does that stack and cassettes.
Make the wall is this first: not a documentary, informed. About an art itself without contours, based on repetition invasive and endless same reasons. We understand very quickly that the interests of these curious paintings on the building is less in their messages - in general, and with few exceptions loan, while also soothing and ideological as they denounce - in the resourcefulness they employ to express them. A paste their posters at places silly, to prepare their nocturnal expeditions to climb the urban architecture. The real Banksy original in all this is the fineness of his speeches - the astonishing life and independent of his works, placed in the right place at the right time.
And when believes reaching the true subject of the documentary (Banksy), the hooded anonymous is there to return the favor. Just to drop a master facetious advice missed documentary, Thierry Guetta, so that he instituted "artist". Second diversion: the street art was art reproduction, it will reproduce the art for commercial purposes. A bit like the pop-art, who object to diverting trade value has necessarily ended up creating new objects of commercial value. This is the same snake biting its tail even: usurping the system's methods of propaganda (the buzz), street-art ends logically in become the ultimate expression.
But Banksy, real author of the film we're talking about, look at this little game with a critical eye so caring, so lucid in enthusiasm, it can not What to take membership. Strength and weakness of the art, vanity of artists and genius of impostors, the stuffing is coming to a real theoretical depth. Treaty mistreated Make the wall is never won by the spirit of seriousness. But nothing seems to throw some subtle truths about art, the art of film, and the art of film art.
