Basquiat 1996 - although the movie is named Basquiat you could say it's not much about him but rather meditation on art, you know: "what is painting and who needs it?" In the past it was easy for painters, they just got orders "paint this god or that portrait" but, as time goes by, painting seems more mysterious.
So the movie can't be about Basquiat because they ridicule people's obsession with him and he, as well as his persona, remains mysterious - not exactly a wikipedia article on Basquiat.
