Julian SchnabeI: A Private Portrait chronicIes the personal Iife and pubIic career of the celebrated artist and filmmaker JuIian SchnabeI. 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 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 life (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 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 play, 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. |
