About this Movie
Basquiat
Jeffrey Wright (HBO's Boycott) stars in this portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the troubled but talented New York artist who soared from living in a box in Tompkins Square Park to dazzling the downtown art scene with his inventive paintings. But if he broke a few hearts or hurt a few feelings along the way, it was nothing compared to the toll his success took on Basquiat himself. Written and directed by artist (and friend of Basquiat) Julian Schnabel. The star-studded cast includes Michael Wincott, Benicio Del Toro, Claire Forlani, David Bowie, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe and Parker Posey.
