BASQUIAT is the portrait of an artist who went from homelessness to fame to tragedy in the 1980's Manhattan art scene. It's worth watching, mostly for David Bowie's portrayal of Andy Warhol. I never got a sense of why Basquiat's art was so great, I guess it must have been in the eye of the beholder. Still, the film is compelling to watch, it moves well all the way to its tragic conclusion, but it's not that memorable.
