What Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat Is About
Sara Driver's 2018 documentary is about the years before Jean-Michel Basquiat became known. His period without a home in New York, the writing he put on walls and the music scene around him sit at the centre. The argument is that the city was decisive. Bankrupt New York at the end of the seventies, with its empty buildings and cheap rents, made room for artists; the narrative presents Basquiat as a product of that environment. Driver was in the same circle at the time and most of those speaking are his friends. Jim Jarmusch and Fab 5 Freddy appear. The documentary does not enter his death or the period of fame; it stops deliberately before them. Who it's for: those who follow art history and New York subcultures. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a full biography; the documentary covers a narrow period.
