BsideRiff every day is going to suggest a movie with alternative o.s.t. as a solution to
Quarantined Generation:
DAY 4. BASQUIAT
The brief life of Jean Michel Basquiat, an American postmodernist/neo expressionist artist who used his graffiti roots as a foundation to create collage-style paintings on canvas.Director Julian Schnabel films Basquiat struggling with fame, drugs and his identity.
Jeffrey Wright gives a great performance as Basquiat accompanied with great actors like Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken,Gary Oldman, Benicio del Toro, Willem Dafoe and of course David Bowie as Andy Warhol
and Courtney Love as “Big Pink”.
The o.s.t gathers great names of Rock & Alternative music:
Public Image Ltd, PJ Harvey, Joy Division,Tom Waits, David Bowie, Van Morrison,John Cale,Brian Kelly in a great interpretation of She Is Dancing & The Pogues with Summer in Siam at the greatest scene of the
film.
