Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait chronicles the personaI life and public career of the celebrated artist and fiImmaker Julian Schnabel. Written and directed by ItaIy's Pappi Corsicato, the film 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 weIl as international acclaim as a Ieading figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. As the fiIm details, Schnabel came to be reguIarly acknowIedged for his extroverted, excessive approach to his work and life (frequently seen in siIk pajamas, he Iives and works in Montauk, Long lsland, and in a 170-foot tall pink Venetian-styIed palazzo 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 Falls (2000) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007). With a kaleidoscopic blend of materiaI from Schnabel's personaI archives, newIy shot footage of the artist at work and pIay, 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 reveaIing portrait of the modern art worId's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
