Synopsis

Combining rarely seen early drawings, paintings, and writings with archival film and photographs, Sara Driver chronicles the emergence of the celebrated Jean-Michel Basquiat, the charming and prolific artist, musician, and poet who became one of the major names in the 1980’s New York art scene.

MUBI's take

As a leading figure in New York’s 1970s avant-garde scene, Sara Driver was perfectly poised to deliver this dazzling portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat. With contributions from the likes of Jim Jarmusch and Patricia Field, Boom For Real marks a magnificent return to filmmaking for the “No Wave” icon.
