Boon plays Brazil, who was orphaned as a boy when his father was killed by a bomb. As an adult, he is shot in a freak drive-by incident, which leaves a bullet lodged in his brain that could kill him at any moment. Emerging from hospital jobless and penniless, Brazil joins a group of amiable misfits living in a scrap yard and begins plotting his revenge. The gravity of the premise is counterpointed to extraordinary effect by the aesthetic delights and humour found aplenty in this fun and pacey yarn.

While ROGER & ME (1989) undoubtedly changed the face of documentary cinema, a lot has happened since audiences were first introduced to Moore's abrasive brand of cap-sporting liberalism.

For the better part of a decade, enigmatic British street artist Banksy has risen through the graffiti underworld to become the incognito poster boy for the medium. Without ever revealing his identity, he has shrewdly avoided the spotlight of celebrity, instead promoting the purism of his art as the star. This raucously entertaining and unconventional pseudo-documentary seeks to unmask the elusive stencil sketcher for the first time on camera, as we follow an amateur French filmmaker who sets out to film the un-filmable. Narrated by Rhys Ifans, EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP is a deliberately conflicting film, eschewing documentary convention in favour of a more freeform, anarchic format and offering a meditation on identity, authenticity and authorship.
