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 film detaiIs the BrookIyn-born Schnabel's formative years in BrownsviIle, 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 well as international acclaim as a leading 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 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 FalIs (2000) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007). With a kaleidoscopic 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 Al Pacino, Mary Boone, Jeff Koons, Bono and Laurie Anderson-not to mention SchnabeI, himself-Corisicato creates a fascinating and reveaIing portrait of the modern art worId's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
