51ORs3dj-eL._SS500_.jpgBanksy, beloved English street artist owes much of his popularity and fame to his voluntary anonymity. Some would call it admirable, an artist could surely garner more fame and fortune if he revealed his face. While others, like myself, think that he is already famous because of the intrigue he created. Director Ivan Massow tries to capture the Banksy phenomenon in his film “Banksy’s Coming For Dinner,” which stars Joan Collins, her husband Percy and a hodgepodge of other guests as they all convene for a dinner with Banksy. There is much excitement and comotion as the diners all wonder who the man behind the art really is. I’ve watched the trailer a few times now and to be honest, it is difficult to tell how much of the movie is fact and how much is fiction. It will be available in both DVD and downloadable formats soon and should be interesting!

It’s so funny how Banksy’s hype has grown… when I was a teenager (fifteen odd years ago) we used to take the train to Bristol where we’d sight early Banksy work stencilled all over the city… it intrigued and amused us then… quite how he got picked up by mainstream media to the point he’s at today has no doubt far more to do with his persistence and savvy actions behind the scenes than anything else. No doubt he’s good at marketing – infact, he’s probably his own agent. I’ll be interested to see this film.
