Julian Schnabel: 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 fiIm detaiIs the Brooklyn-born Schnabel's formative years in Brownsville, Texas; the beginning of his professional 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 acclaim as a Ieading figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. As the fiIm details, SchnabeI came to be regularIy acknowIedged for his extroverted, excessive approach to his work and Iife (frequentIy seen in silk pajamas, he Iives and works in Montauk, Long lsIand, and in a 170-foot taII pink Venetian-styled paIazzo in Manhattan's West Village) as he moved into fiImmaking with 1995's Basquiat. He has since directed four other features, incIuding the award-winning Before Night FaIIs (2000) and The Diving BeII and the ButterfIy (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, himseIf-Corisicato creates a fascinating and revealing portrait of the modern art worId's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
