Basquiat (1996)

The Gallery Opening

Basquiat’s (Jeffrey Wright) gallery opening is a big success, but the seeds of self-destruction are beginning to blossom. Gina (Claire Forlani) and Big Pink (Courtney Love) – both Basquiat love interests – have an uncomfortable run-in.

Directed by Julian Schnabel.
