Dir: Sara Driver
US 2017, 78 mins

The rise and fall of Jean Michel Basquiat may be well-trodden and over-hyped territory, but Sara Driver’s affectionate, candid portrait offers us this fascinating figure anew by zeroing in on a particular moment in his Manhattan evolution.

Boom For Real is peopled by a colourful range of scenesters including hip hop pioneer Fab Five Freddy, graffiti legend Lee Quiñones and friend Felice Rosser, whose tales from Basquiat’s boombox blasting, sofa-surfing days are a real highlight. A picture of creativity in full flight.
