Remarkable for its sweep and its refreshing lack of cant and sentimentality.

And yet, the work he is creating was stunning and powerful. The guy still had it.

It charts the stormy path of a fascinating, enigmatic figure whose art seemed inextricably bound with his self-destructive tendencies.

While the film might make us question the veracity of the story it tells, Shadowman is most intriguing as a record of Hambleton's life that will raise awareness of his work .

Must see, haunting, disturbing powerful story of a breakthrough force in NYC and the art world globally. Compare Haring, Basquiat Banksy - or don't even bother. Just opened at Quad Cinema at 34w13th. https://quadcinema.com/film/shadowman/ Director spoke with audience at 7:30 Dec1 show which was a treat, (I'll add photos and a clip of that discussion over on Fb at some point. Cheers.)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
