Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child (2010)
An excellent documentary about the 1980s art scene's brightest, but most often misunderstood, light. Tamra Davis's film turns, as everybody who's heard of it knows now, on exclusive interview footage that she shot during Basquiat's lifetime. But while the one-on-one time with the Radiant Child is compelling, this one is also memorable for the detailed way she contextualizes the various bohemian and aesthetic sites of JMB's ascendance.
