Called the Jimi Hendrix of the Art World and the black Van Gogh, Jean-Michel Basquiat electrified his contemporaries and meteorically shot through the New York stage, dying with the eighties of a drug overdose, similar to Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison at the tender age of twenty seven.

Based on real life, Lech Majewski’s story reconstructs the fate of one of the most rebelious artists of our times, and serves as a base for Julian Schnabel’s feature.

It showcases David Bowie in the role of Andy Warhol, Willem Dafoe, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Courtney Love, Tatum O’Neil.
