Our take
As a leading figure in New York’s 1970s avant-garde scene, Sara Driver was perfectly poised to deliver this dazzling portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat. With contributions from the likes of Jim Jarmusch and Patricia Field, Boom For Real marks a magnificent return to filmmaking for the “No Wave” icon.
