## Description

Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait chronicles the personal life and public career of the celebrated artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel. Written and directed by Italy's Pappi Corsicato, the film details the Brooklyn-born Schnabel's formative years in Brownsville, Texas; the beginning of his professional career in New York City in the late 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 details, Schnabel came to be regularly acknowledged for his extroverted, excessive approach to his work and life (frequently seen in silk pajamas, he lives and works in Montauk, Long Island, and in a 170-foot tall pink Venetian-styled palazzo 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 Falls (2000) and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007). With a kaleidoscopic blend of material from Schnabel's personal 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, himself-Corisicato creates a fascinating and revealing portrait of the modern art world's most boisterous and provocative maverick.

    It would be a wonderful world if talent was enough
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017*

An extraordinary documentary. In the 80s I was not much of a fan but this film has changed my mind. Here is another case of self promotion and marketing a personality. It would be a wonderful world if talent was enough. Since Warhol it has been necessary for artists to double as their own ad agency. Schnabel is a perfect example of such a personality..plate paintings and PJs got him the spotlight as an artist. It should be noted that all of his movies have been equally accomplished. Don't miss them.. The movies are affordable.. not the art..

    New insights into a misunderstood painter
  

*by E***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021*

Schnable, due to his own fault, is misunderstood and not seriously considered as he should be. He's a magnificent painter who takes incredible risks even if he is an egomaniac. This documentary will give you insights into him and humanize him in a way you may not be familair with. It's a very well-made documentary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The Man's Work
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018*

Julian Schnabel's rise and fall in the NYC art world had always intrigued me, so I jumped at the chance to perhaps solve that "mystery" by watching this documentary.  What I came away with was being permanently impressed by Schnabel's level of intensity and intention to being an artist.  I can't even recall why he fell in and out of favor in that shallow world.  The man's work is what impresses.
