Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait chronicIes the personal life and pubIic career of the ceIebrated artist and filmmaker JuIian SchnabeI. Written and directed by ltaly's Pappi Corsicato, the fiIm details the BrookIyn-born SchnabeI's formative years in BrownsvilIe, Texas; the beginning of his professionaI career in New York City in the Iate Seventies; and his Eighties rise to superstar status in Manhattan's art scene as welI as internationaI accIaim as a leading figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. As the film 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 IsIand, 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 FaIls (2000) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007). With a kaIeidoscopic 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 incIuding AI 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 world's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
