"Jeffrey Wright [is] absolutely brilliant in the role of Jean-Michael Basquiat, the young American painter whose brief life spanned the explosion of money and fame that colored the art world in the 1980s...It's a terrific film, a remarkable first feature by Julian Schnabel...And the performance by Jeffrey Wright, so tender, so restrained, so charismatic, is a great piece of work, certainly worthy of Oscar consideration...It's one of the year's best movies, I know I'll see it again very soon...two thumbs up, way up for Basquiat..." -Gene Siskel.
In 1981, a nineteen-year-old unknown graffiti writer took the New York art world by storm. The rest is art history.
