Synopsis: At age 19, Jean Michel Basquiat was a poor, struggling graffiti artist. Eight years later, he was one of the most famous, acclaimed painters in the world — and dead of a heroin overdose. “Basquiat” details the tumultuous years in between, concentrating on his meteoric rise within Soho’s trendy art world. The charismatic but self-destructive Basquiat had his share of personal demons, including his mother’s mental illness, and his hatred of middle-class society… which courted and exploited him. The young artist’s heroin addiction eventually led to his death, extinguishing a great talent in the process.
