Story Synopsis

Basquiat, based on a story by Lech J. Majewski and John Bowe, is the critically acclaimed film starring Jeffrey Wright as the self-destructive young American artist and graffiti writer Jean Michel Basquiat. Basquiat’s hunger for fame and money in the early 80s brings his work to the likes of Andy Warhol (David Bowie) and Albert Milo (Gary Oldman). Cameo appearances by Christopher Walken, Tatum O’Neal, Willem Dafoe and Courtney Love add to a brilliant cast of characters in one of the most vivid portrayals of recent American culture.
