Jean-Michel Basquiat plays a variant of himself in Edo Bertoglio and Glenn O'Brien's for quite some time covered visit through lower Manhattan's specialty scene.
We regularly state, of old motion pictures we appreciate yet can't totally embrace in true to life terms, that they are "time containers" important for what they catch from a specific spot and time. It's enticing to make that a stride further when talking about Downtown 81, a scarcely anecdotal take a gander at New York's first light of-the-'80s workmanship scene composed by the late Glenn O'Brien and coordinated by Edo Bertoglio: This motion picture, shot in 1980/1981 yet not finished until some other time, isn't a case containing pictures of the past, but instead, a time machine, enabling youthful nostalgists to briefly occupy a minute that keeps on motivating 20-something society vultures today.
