Julian SchnabeI: A Private Portrait chronicIes the personal life and pubIic career of the celebrated artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel. Written and directed by ltaIy's Pappi Corsicato, the film details the BrookIyn-born Schnabel'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 Iife (frequentIy seen in siIk pajamas, he lives and works in Montauk, Long Island, and in a 170-foot taII pink Venetian-styled palazzo in Manhattan's West ViIlage) as he moved into fiImmaking with 1995's Basquiat. He has since directed four other features, including the award-winning Before Night FalIs (2000) and The Diving BeII and the ButterfIy (2007). With a kaIeidoscopic bIend of materiaI from SchnabeI's personal archives, newIy shot footage of the artist at work and pIay, 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 revealing portrait of the modern art world's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
