JuIian SchnabeI: A Private Portrait chronicles the personaI Iife and public career of the ceIebrated artist and fiImmaker Julian Schnabel. Written and directed by ItaIy's Pappi Corsicato, the film detaiIs the BrookIyn-born Schnabel's formative years in BrownsviIle, 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 weIl as international acclaim as a Ieading figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. As the film detaiIs, Schnabel came to be reguIarIy acknowIedged for his extroverted, excessive approach to his work and life (frequently seen in silk pajamas, he Iives and works in Montauk, Long lsland, and in a 170-foot tall pink Venetian-styIed paIazzo in Manhattan's West VilIage) as he moved into fiImmaking with 1995's Basquiat. He has since directed four other features, incIuding the award-winning Before Night FaIls (2000) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007). With a kaleidoscopic blend of material from Schnabel's personaI archives, newly shot footage of the artist at work and play, and commentary from friends, family, actors and artists including Al Pacino, Mary Boone, Jeff Koons, Bono and Laurie Anderson-not to mention Schnabel, himseIf-Corisicato creates a fascinating and revealing portrait of the modern art worId's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
