Exit Through the Gift Shop

2010. UK. Dir: Banksy. With Banksy, Shepard Fairey. 87 min
Enigmatic, ghost-like artist Banksy delivers both a satire of the business of modern street art and a thrilling, participatory history via this profile of a videographer/"artist." Even if the film itself may be another cheeky stunt, Banksy uses the movie screen as a canvas to splatter truth, if not fact, in entertaining fashion.

Repulsion

1965. UK. Dir: Roman Polanski. With Catherine Deneuve. 105 min
The first of Polanski's lauded "apartment trilogy," this tale of a virginal young woman's slow descent into confined madness unfolds a nightmare of cinematic sexual psychosis. Deneuve is hypnotizing in a film that forces one to make the chilling choice between chastity and sanity.
