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

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.)
