We recently added “Beauty Is Embarrassing” to the DBRL collection. The film is playing this week on the PBS series Independent Lens and currently has a rating of 92% from audiences at Rotten Tomatoes. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
For more than 30 years, Wayne White has made an indelible mark on the creative world. As a designer, painter, puppeteer, sculptor and musician, White created images and ideas that are an integral, yet sometimes subconscious, part of the pop-culture lexicon. Part biography, part live performance; tell the irreverent and inspiring story of this one-of-a-kind visual artist and raconteur.

A stylishly dark docu-comedy excavating America’s craving for fame and fortune via one of its most outrageous addicts. Once a legitimate art star in the 1980s New York scene, millionaire ‘business artist’ Mark Kostabi hires others to conceive and create paintings which he openly signs and sells as his own. ‘Con Artist’ focuses on Kostabi’s attempts to regain prominence and find happiness through fame, which he openly equates with love.

We recently added Exit through the Gift Shop to the DBRL collection. The movie has received favorable reviews from critics, and is one of the most honored documentaries of 2010. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
An eccentric French shopkeeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the Palestinian segregation wall in the West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film.
