Basquiat by Stephen Farber Basquiat is a stillborn biography of the street-style painter who was adopted by Andy Warhol. Painter Julian Schnabel may have been too close to the subject, and he is too inexperienced a director to supply any energy. Schnabel never establishes Basquiat's gifts as an artist or the emotional bond he had with Warhol (played by David Bowie in a fright wig), two essential elements that the film must have in order to involve us. Jeffrey Wright's opaque, inexpressive performance is no help whatsoever. What did you think of this movie? Sound off in the Movie Forum. |
