Synopsis

Terrific artist-bio of Jean-Michael Basquiat - very active in the New York art world, where most of the men are gay.

Review

Jeffrey Wright is mesmerizing as Basquiat, a (not really) poor Haitian-American graffiti artist who rapidly ascends New York's rarified art world only to lose it all to heroin addiction. David Bowie makes an interesting interpretive incantation of Andy Warhol and there are several other gay characters sprinkled in this cautionary straight tale. Wright's portrayal of the innocent and emotionally fragile artist seduced and then used by others is heart-breaking. Great score in this exploration of the wild New York art world.
