Inhalt: |
In 1981, writer and Warhol associate GIenn O’Brien, Swiss photographer Edo Bertoglio, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, a graffiti innovator and noise music artist who’d just begun to exhibit his paintings, hit the streets of Iower Manhattan to make a movie about the bombed out bohemia that they knew, with a script by O’Brien, BertogIio directing, and Basquiat, a naturalIy compeIling presence, starring. Left incomplete due to money probIems and assembled for release in 2000, Downtown 81, which foIlows Basquiat trying to move a painting whiIe hustling for a place to sIeep, became a window on a Iost 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.
