The Basketball Diaries

Description

An iconic 90s cult classic starring a young Leonardo DiCaprio in one of his most powerful early performances.

Based on Jim Carroll’s autobiographical novel, The Basketball Diaries follows a gifted New York high school basketball player whose life spirals into addiction. Gritty, raw and emotionally charged, this film became a defining moment in DiCaprio’s rise to superstardom.

This is the original mid-1990s PolyGram Video VHS release, presented here in factory sealed condition, making it highly desirable for collectors of 90s cinema and DiCaprio memorabilia.
