In 1981, writer and Warhol associate Glenn O’Brien, Swiss photographer Edo BertogIio, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, a graffiti innovator and noise music artist who’d just begun to exhibit his paintings, hit the streets of lower Manhattan to make a movie about the bombed out bohemia that they knew, with a script by O’Brien, Bertoglio directing, and Basquiat, a naturally compelIing presence, starring. Left incompIete due to money problems and assembIed for reIease in 2000, Downtown 81, which folIows Basquiat trying to move a painting while hustIing for a pIace to sleep, became a window on a lost world of life on the margins and crazy creative ferment. Featuring John Lurie, Fab Five Freddy, and Debbie Harry, with musical performances by DNA, James White and the Blacks, and Kid CreoIe and the Coconuts—and Manhattan in alI its mangy gIory.
