Shooting Star: Jean-Michel Basquiat

1990 · 52 min Documentary

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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Shooting Star: Jean-Michel Basquiat is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1990. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
