Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child (2010)

Director:

Tamra Davis

IMDB

Review:

Centered on a rare interview that director and friend Tamra Davis shot with Basquiat over twenty years ago, this definitive documentary chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of the young artist. In the crime-ridden NYC of the 1970s, he covers the city with the graffiti tag SAMO. In 1981 he puts paint on canvas for the first time, and by 1983 he is an artist with “rock star status.” He achieves critical and commercial success, though he is constantly confronted by racism from his peers. In 1985 he and Andy Warhol become close friends and painting collaborators, but they part ways and Warhol dies suddenly in 1987. Basquiat’s heroin addiction worsens, and he dies of an overdose in 1988 at the age of 27. The artist was 25 years old at the height of his career, and today his canvases sell for more than a million dollars. With compassion and psychological insight, Tamra Davis details the mysteries that surround this charismatic young man, an artist of enormous talent whose fortunes mirrored the rollercoaster quality of the downtown scene he seemed to embody.

Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher (2005)

Director:

David Di Sabatino

IMDB

Review:

Lonnie Frisbee was a young hippie seeker fully immersed in the 1960s counter culture when he claimed to have experienced an encounter with God while on an acid trip. This event so transformed him that Lonnie became an itinerant Christian evangelist, something of a John the Baptist of Southern California who compelled thousands of fellow spiritual seekers to make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. During the 1970s Lonnie Frisbee became widely known as California's "hippie preacher," the quintessential "Jesus freak" whose pictures frequented such magazines as Time and Life as the media told the story of a burgeoning "Jesus movement." Lonnie Frisbee provided the charismatic spark that launched the Calvary Chapel church into a worldwide ministry and propelled many fledgling leaders into some of the most powerful movers and shakers of the evangelical movement. During the 1980s Lonnie was at the center of the "signs and wonders" movement.

A Skin Too Few: The Days of Nick Drake (2000)

Director:
Jeroen Berkvens

IMDB

Review:
The archetype of the sensitive singer/songwriter, British musician Nick Drake released a mere three LPs before his untimely death from an overdose of antidepressants in 1974 at the age of 26. Dutch director Jerome Berkvens' lyrical, meditative documentary, A SKIN TOO FEW, attempts to shed light on the brief life of this mysterious figure, whose stature and fan base has grown exponentially since his tragic end. The film divides his life into segments: his first early years in Burma, his youth at his family home in Tanworth-In-Arden, his college years at Cambridge, and so forth. Interviews with his few confidants provide valuable background information--college chum Robert Kirby, producer Joe Boyd, and most importantly, his sister Gabrielle, whose readings from Drake's letters give insight to a private and increasingly introspective soul. The only existing footage of Drake--performance or otherwise--is a brief home movie from his childhood. Berkvans overcomes this obstacle with striking sequences in which the camera travels in Drake's footsteps (his bedroom, the streets of Cambridge) while his songs unfurl on the soundtrack. Though a reverent, beautiful work, at a mere 49 minutes, fans will probably find A SKIN TOO FEW all too short--just like the life and career of its enigmatic subject.

Mein liebster Feind - Klaus Kinski (1999) - My Best Friend - Klaus Kinski

Director:
Werner Herzog

IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200849/

Review:
In the 1950s, when Werner Herzog was 13, he was sharing an apartment with Klaus Kinski, an ego-maniacal live-wire. In an unabated, 48 hour fit of rage, Kinski destroyed every piece of furniture in sight. From this chaos, a beautiful albeit volatile partnership was born. In 1972, Herzog cast Kinski in Aguirre, The Wrath of God. Four more films would follow. In this personal documentary, Herzog traces the often violent up and downs of their relationship, revisiting Munich apartment where they first met - and thrashed, and the various locations of their films.

Grizzly Man (2005)

Director:
Werner Herzog

IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/

Review:
Grizzly Man, a visually stunning and sensitive portrait of one man's life - and death - in the wild was the talk of the film festival circuit in 2005. Now, the critically-acclaimed film which documents author and outdoorsman Timothy Treadwell's obsession with the magnificent and deadly grizzly bear, is set to make its broadcast debut. After committing 13 years of study to the great bears, Treadwell presumed he could live safely among the grizzlies of the Alaskan wilderness - until he was killed and devoured by one of the very animals to which he had devoted his life. Written and directed by Werner Herzog, Grizzly Man paints a complex portrait of Treadwell, a tireless and passionate advocate for grizzly bears who died at 46 in Alaska's Katmai National Park and Reserve in 2003, after being mauled and devoured by a grizzly, along with his girlfriend Amie Huguenard. At the heart of Grizzly Man is spectacular footage of enormous grizzlies hunting, playing and fighting just feet from Treadwell and his camera. Distilled from more than 100 hours of footage Treadwell shot and left behind over his years spent with the grizzlies, many of these scenes were filmed during his last visits to the Alaskan wilderness, apparently with the intention of creating a wildlife documentary. Intimate and captivating, Treadwell's story pushes the boundary between human and nature and provides the ultimate in first-hand knowledge of grizzlies. "My life is on the precipice of death," said Treadwell. Named best movie of the year by TIME Magazine's Richard Schickel and heralded by Roger Ebert as "brilliant," Grizzly Man also received the Sundance Film Festival's prestigious "Alfred P. Sloane Feature Film Award" and the "Best Feature Documentary" award at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival. Grizzly Man has also been selected "Best Documentary of 2005" by both the New York Film Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, honored by all major critics associations, and nominated for numerous awards.

Review:
In 1992, a year after Aileen Wuornos was arrested for the murders of seven men in Florida, filmmaker Nick Broomfield released the documentary “Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer.” A decade later, they were reunited when he was subpoenaed to appear at her final state appeal before execution. Broomfield subsequently spent the next year and a half revisiting her case, conducting multiple interviews with Wuornos and the people who knew her best. The disturbing America Undercover documentary AILEEN: LIFE AND DEATH OF A SERIAL KILLER provides his fresh insights into her story.

Hated (1994)

Director:
Todd Phillips

IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107086

Review:
Documentary about the life and death of the notorious underground punk icon GG Allin, the foul mouthed, heroin shooting lead singer of the Murder Junkies, who would throw excrement at the crowd, start fights with the biggest guys in the audience, and threatened to kill himself on stage. He was considered the lowest common denominator of our society by some, an avant-garde artist by others.
