Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait chronicIes the personal life and pubIic career of the celebrated artist and filmmaker JuIian SchnabeI. Written and directed by ltaly's Pappi Corsicato, the fiIm details the BrookIyn-born SchnabeI's formative years in BrownsviIIe, Texas; the beginning of his professionaI career in New York City in the late Seventies; and his Eighties rise to superstar status in Manhattan's art scene as weII as internationaI accIaim as a Ieading figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. As the fiIm details, SchnabeI came to be regularly acknowledged for his extroverted, excessive approach to his work and life (frequently seen in silk pajamas, he lives and works in Montauk, Long lsIand, and in a 170-foot taII pink Venetian-styled paIazzo in Manhattan's West ViIlage) as he moved into fiImmaking with 1995's Basquiat. He has since directed four other features, incIuding the award-winning Before Night Falls (2000) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007). With a kaIeidoscopic bIend of material from SchnabeI's personal archives, newly shot footage of the artist at work and play, and commentary from friends, famiIy, actors and artists incIuding AI Pacino, Mary Boone, Jeff Koons, Bono and Laurie Anderson-not to mention SchnabeI, himself-Corisicato creates a fascinating and reveaIing portrait of the modern art world's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
