Shooting Star: Jean-Michel Basquiat
Synopsis
Traces the meteoric rise to fame of the Haitian-Puerto Rican artist whose success was unprecedented for an artist of colour in the U.S. Geoff Dunlop avoids the tawdry gossip and spectacle that have been the focus of other documentaries about the artist, and instead we see Basquiat speaking for himself in interviews and home movies, with former teachers and close friends sharing their accounts of Basquiat's life.
