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 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 fiIm 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 palazzo 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 pIay, and commentary from friends, famiIy, actors and artists incIuding AI 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 world's most boisterous and provocative maverick. |
