Review of Bomb It (2007) by Marina R — 23 Jun 2009

I have seen a plethora of docs on the Graffiti culture including Doug Prey's documentary which is most notable - this film is stellar in comparison to the others.

The footage alone is amazing and edited incredibly well. Unlike other films on the subject, collecting stores and capturing the historical relevance, Bomb It is both educational and refreshing. There is a certain angst and military type approach by those searching for the open canvas that is both revealing and poignantly expressed in this film. The moving museum - train art; bombing in Europe; the taggers, sticker makers and stenciling in Paris. This is an international culture told by the original bombers and artists.

You will never walk past a tag or a mural or a bombed wall and look at it the same after seeing this film.
