BASQUIAT REIMAGINED: A CRITERION COLLECTION RELEASE

 Criterion Honors Basquiat Biopic with Stunning 4K Remaster

From criterion.com:

The Criterion Collection is proud to announce the 4K UHD + Blu-ray release of Julian Schnabel’s Basquiat on April 29, 2025. Originally released theatrically in 1996, this impressionistic tribute to visionary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat captures the 1980s downtown Manhattan art scene with Jeffrey Wright delivering a breakout performance as the trailblazing painter. Featuring an ensemble cast, including David Bowie as Andy Warhol, Schnabel’s profoundly expressive directorial debut is presented in the filmmaker’s own luminous black-and-white remastering. This special edition includes director-approved features, offering an immersive experience of this elegiac portrait of an extraordinary life.
