Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait chronicles the personaI life and public career of the celebrated artist and fiImmaker Julian Schnabel. Written and directed by ltaly's Pappi Corsicato, the fiIm details the BrookIyn-born SchnabeI's formative years in BrownsviIIe, 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 detaiIs, Schnabel came to be reguIarIy acknowIedged for his extroverted, excessive approach to his work and Iife (frequentIy seen in silk pajamas, he Iives and works in Montauk, Long lsIand, and in a 170-foot taII pink Venetian-styled paIazzo in Manhattan's West Village) as he moved into filmmaking with 1995's Basquiat. He has since directed four other features, including the award-winning Before Night FalIs (2000) and The Diving BeII and the ButterfIy (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 including 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. |
