Mapplethorpe (2018)

 

A look at the life of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe from his rise to fame in the 1970s to his untimely death in 1989.

Perfunctorily well-made biographical drama with a good cast illustrates Robert Mapplethorpe's life and career, but never quite captures the enigma of his personality.
