Tamara Davis' Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child, with great interviews with Fab 5 Freddy, Julian Schnabel, and other pivotal art figures of NYC in the 1980s, is being hailed as the definitive Basquiat documentary, and to us was our favorite art film of 2010. It presented Basquiat as a larger than life artist, but also as just a man inside the legend. More after the jump . . .

We almost forgot to mention this, but today Jean-Michel Basquiat would have been 50, being born on December 22, 1960. Of course we all know he died of the young age of 27 of a heroin overdose, but his legendary and influential fine art and work on the streets under the moniker "SAMO" has been well-documented and preserved.
