This weeks Film selection is JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT: RADIANT CHILD

Director Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in this definitive documentary but also delves into Basquiat as an iconoclast. His dense, bebop-influenced neoexpressionist work emerged while minimalist, conceptual art was the fad; as a successful black artist, he was constantly confronted by racism and misconceptions. Much can be gleaned from insider interviews and archival footage, but it is Basquiat's own words and work that powerfully convey the mystique and allure of both the artist and the man. Written by Sundance Film Festival

For not knowing truly much about Jean-Michel Basquiat before watching this film other than he died before his time and that he was close friends with Andy Warhol was all I knew. I really learned a great deal about this amazing artist and with the most of it coming in his own words as the film featured video interviews with Basquiat. He was a soft-spoken man with a childlike creativity and that really came threw with each interview segment.

Furthermore, the film/documentary did a great job in depicting the life and times of the era in which Basquiat went from a “nobody” to a prolific artist still relevant today. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It was informative, entertaining, and definitely held my attention through out I give this film 4 stars.
