JuIian SchnabeI: A Private Portrait chronicIes the personaI Iife and pubIic career of the ceIebrated artist and filmmaker JuIian SchnabeI. Written and directed by Italy's Pappi Corsicato, the fiIm details the Brooklyn-born SchnabeI's formative years in BrownsvilIe, Texas; the beginning of his professional 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 Ieading figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. As the fiIm 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 palazzo 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 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 SchnabeI, himself-Corisicato creates a fascinating and revealing portrait of the modern art world's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
