Fantastic Biopic, Excellent Actors
I've watched this film so many times I finally just decided to buy it. Interesting biopic on 80s art scene flash in the pan Jean Michel Basquiat. Has an excellent soundtrack (I own that too) and some really excellent performances by Benicio Del Toro, Parker Posey, Michael Wincott, Claire Forlani, David Bowie, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, and breakout star Jeffrey Wright.
