Additional InformationAn insider's look at the kinetic New York City art world, told through the tragic life story of Jean-Michel Basquiat (a brilliant performance by Jeffrey Wright). A black, 19-year-old graffiti artist who catapulted to superstardom with his controversial paintings, Basquiat rubbed elbows with the likes of Andy Warhol and Julian Schnabel before burning out permanently from a drug overdose at the age of 27. Schnabel, himself a celebrated figure in the art world, makes his directing debut with this star-studded biopic about the overlapping yet conflicting worlds of art, commerce, and celebrity.

  • Great biopic of an over rated artist. Bowie turns in a good performance for a change.

    Strong performances through out the film. I like mythology surrounding the tedious art work of an over rated artist, much like his mentor Warhol. Still. It is enjoyable to watch and even David Bowie is a little more convincing in his role as Warhol than in some of his other roles. A great biopic.
