Easily the Best Film I’ve Seen in a Long Time

It’s rainy in New York City tonight, so Hila and I ducked into an art house cinema to see Exit Through the Gift Shop.

It’s directed by one of my favorite contemporary artists, Banksy. I won’t give away the plot; instead, here are a couple of his iconic graffiti pieces that I’ve actually seen in person.

I saw this one while in Israel two years ago. It’s stenciled on the wall dividing Israel from the Gaza Strip, easily seen from the highway:
