Basquiat was sort of an artist's artist- if you talk to anyone in fine arts they generally love his work- but not so well loved by those outside this world. That said, his life story is amazing for even those who don't actually like the work.
This movie is star-studded, especially for an indie film- and even the lesser known actors (at the time...some have gotten really famous after this movie) are really powerful.
The visuals are wonderful, as befits a painter-turned -director. (And Mr.Schnabel is a real renaissance man, anyway)
Superfantastic!
