Its about the artist himself. Very good, one of my favourites no doubt. David Bowie plays as Andy Warhol. For those who dont know, Jean Basquiat was a modern day black artist. He was somewhat dark, and died of a heroin overdose at age 27.
I like his work, but have yet to see the movie. Its one I've been meaning to check ou though. Another member of the 27 club.
