## Description

Product Description In early Seventies New York, drug addict Jim (Leonardo DiCaprio) keeps a diary detailing the course of his dissolute life. His grip on reality loosens as his consumption of illicit substances increases, until a spell at Riker's Island juvenile reformatory gives him a chance to regain control of his life. desertcart.co.uk Review The pre-Titanic Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jim Carroll, the poet and musician who spent much of his adolescence addicted to heroin and shooting hoops with fellow Catholic high-school kids. As a biography, the film doesn't amount to more than the sum of its gritty scenes of smack use, violence, perversions (poor Bruno Kirby plays a lecherous coach who comes on to young Jim), and the usual scream-and-puke dramas that go along with a cold-turkey session. Director Scott Kalvert doesn't seem to realise that most people don't know who Carroll is and therefore can't possibly understand why they should care about his gutterball youth. DiCaprio, having nowhere to go with his performance but maintain Carroll's tailspin, is boring and redundant. Some kind of allusion to the literary and rock & roll life that follows the mess we're watching might have been helpful. The DVD release offers the choice of a full or widescreen (letterbox) picture, plus interviews. --Tom Keogh, desertcart.com

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Basketball Diaries [DVD] [1995]
*by A***R on 21 January 2026*

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I saw a clip on TikTok and I couldn’t find anywhere online to watch, so I decided to purchase the DVD — glad I did! The Basketball Diaries is intense and raw, following a young Leo as he navigates the highs and lows of youth in a tough city. The story pulls you in with its gritty realism and emotional depth without giving too much away. Definitely worth a watch for his performance and the powerful narrative.
