BASQUIAT

Tamara Davis' Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child, with great interviews with Fab 5 Freddy, Julian Schnabel, and other pivotal art figures of NYC in the 1980s, is being hailed as the definitive Basquiat documentary, and to us was our favorite art film of 2010. It presented Basquiat as a larger than life artist, but also as just a man inside the legend. Davis did her friend the ultimate justice by honoring him with a timeless portrait.
