    This week on Remainders we watch the 1996 biopic Basquiat, a glimpse into the short life of postmodernist and art-world icon Jean-Michel Basquiat. Directed by Julian Schnabel and starring a young Jeffrey Wright, Basquiat follows his rise to fame in 1980s New York City and the hotbed of creativity crossing paths with Andy Warhol and others. Containing one of the most notable and talented casts of any film from the decade, Basquiat is a portrait of an artist made from an artist – an ode to the act of creativity itself.

    Other topics include the Academy Awards, Godzilla winning its first Oscar, Oppenheimer, Ennio Morricone at the Music Box, social media and art, and what makes a good biopic.
