This film celebrates the black American graffiti artist, Jean Michel Basquiat (Jeffrey Wright) who died at the age of 27.
This film shows his rise to fame, courted by the likes of Andy Warhol (David Bowie) and art dealer Bruno Bischofberger (Dennis Hopper) but destined to shine briefly before self-destructing.
A fascinating insight into the contemporary art world and, since director Julian Schnabel was a
friend of Basquiat's, one that is more insightful than most.
