    It is funny for the first few minutes, then just monotonous.
    I saw this at the Nantucket film Festival (2002)

    Its tries to state the point, that the result of graffiti removal by state workers is subconscious art. I admit that I am not highly knowledgeable in art; however being the son of a modern artist I say that this is spurious.

    The audience laughed through this film, as did I. If the film was intended as a comedical insight, the joke got old very fast. Be prepared to look at many images of removed graffiti for 16 minutes.

    There was one scene with a woman on a bike riding through town. I started to get a feel of what the director was saying, but then the woman suddenly changed directions, leaving me with the impression that these where just random scenes slapped together.
