Basquiat (1996)

5/14: Jean-Michel Basquiat?

I had never heard of him. Only in the art world where pseudo-intellectuals reside would fawn over him. Taking a gander at his stuff, I was like, "Huh?" It reminded me of those canvases that were painted by elephants which can be found at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (or one of those silly places).

Basquiat doesn't have anything important to say. What an uninteresting person this "artist" is. Yet the star-studded ensemble carries the film through, making my viewing bearable. And...that's about it.

All in all, Basquiat can be safely skipped.
