Description:
The film explores Jean-Michel Basquiat's life through rare interviews with his sisters, Lisane and Jeanine, who are speaking to the cameras for the first time. Art dealers like Larry Gagosian, Mary Boone, and Bruno Bischofberger, along with his closest friends, lovers, and fellow artists, speak openly about the money, drugs, and racism Basquiat faced every day. Basquiat’s art—whether defiant statements or works filled with hidden meanings—serves as the central element of this story.
