Jean-Michel Basquiat

Directed by Quinn Wilson and Viridiana Lieberman

With Jean-Michel Basquiat and Lisane Basquiat

Follows Basquiat’s early life as the child of middle-class Haitian and Puerto Rican parents in Brooklyn, through his adventures in the punk subculture and up to his breakout as a major American artist. All the while, special attention is paid to Basquiat’s mental and emotional state, with interviews from former friends and colleagues to supplement his sisters’ impressions.
