Janus Films has revealed an official trailer for a 4K re-release of Basquiat, the famed 1996 film about the iconic artist. The film, newly restored in black & white, made from a 4K scan from the original camera negative. Supervised by director Julian Schnabel.
The brief life of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a world renowned New York street artist struggling with fame, drugs, and his identity. Starring Jeffrey Wright in his very first big screen role as the artist who tragically died at 28. Cemented by David Bowie as a spot-on Andy Warhol, Basquiat’s supporting cast is a murderers’ row of Hollywood legends & art lovers (Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Benecio del Toro, Parker Posey, Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe) all lending their talents to one of the "high points of 90s indie cinema," an intimate elegy for a once-in-a-generation artistic phenomenon.
Here’s the new 4K restoration trailer (+ poster) for Julian Schnabel’s Basquiat, direct from YouTube:
No painter electrified the 1980s art scene like Jean-Michel Basquiat (starring Jeffrey Wright), a New York street kid whose visionary blending of expressionism, pop art, and the radical new aesthetics of hip-hop & graffiti propelled him to international fame before a tragic early demise. Julian Schnabel’s stunning debut charts Basquiat’s dizzying rise and fall with an insider’s eye for authentic details of the downtown arts demimonde as well as a fellow postmodernist’s interest in the dream-like & surreal. Jeffrey Wright’s brilliant performance provides trenchant insight into the artist’s creative passions and personal demons.
Conclusion
Janus Films will debut the B&W 4K re-release of Basquiat in select US theaters starting September 13th, 2024, this month. Don’t miss the chance to watch this masterpiece in a whole new way.
