4K restoration!
Saturday, September 21 at 9:20 p.m.: Post-screening conversation with dir. Julian Schnabel and Jason Momoa
Julian Schnabel brings the all-too-brief life and incandescent world of Jean-Michel Basquiat to the screen with this dreamily stylized tribute from one creative phenom to another. Jeffrey Wright fully embodies the elusive Basquiat, who goes from homeless graffiti tagger to the toast of a colorful 1980s Manhattan art scene presided over by the witty, eccentric Andy Warhol (a perfectly cast David Bowie). Fame, though, comes at a price, and Basquiat’s rapid ascent—and struggles with drug addiction—threaten to cost him his friendships, love, and life.
Newly restored in black & white, made from a 4k scan from the original camera negative. Supervised by Julian Schnabel.
Previously screened with Q&A with director Julian Schnabel, Jeffrey Wright, and Benicio Del Toro on Thursday, September 12, 2024 and a Q&A with director Julian Schnabel on Friday, September 13, 2024.
