Rated R – 1996, Drama: Based on the story of Jean Michel Basquiat,a noted New York artist whose career was cut short by a heroinoverdose. Dir: Julian Schnabel, Starring:Jeffrey Wright, Michael Wincott, Benicio Del Toro, Claire Forlani, David Bowie, Dennis Hopper.

This biographical drama focuses on the life of tormented artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat began his career as a Manhattan graffiti artist but ultimately climbed up to the higher echelons of the art world. This 1996 drama was written and directed by Julian Schnabel, one of the most sought after painters of the 1980’s art scene. Look for great performances all around, including one from David Bowie as Andy Warhol.

Here is a great audio clip sent in by our friends at the Italian Velvet Goldmine fanclub.

well….ok we know this is not a detective-story….but actually it IS a scoop….isn’t it? the Italian fanclub Velvet Goldmine would like to send as submission for the Best Scoop contest the realaudio file of David himself singingGlory Glory Hallelujah from the movie Il Mio West ( in the file you can also hear Leonardo Pieraccioni saying in italian “oh my God, the psychopath”….)
