This documentary chronicles the personal life and public career of the celebrated artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel. 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 rise to superstar status in Manhattan’s art scene as well as international acclaim as a leading figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. 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, this film is a fascinating and revealing portrait of the modern art world’s most boisterous and provocative maverick. Official Selection at the **Tribeca Film Festival**. *"A rich and enjoyable look at an easily caricatured artist." - John DeFore, **The Hollywood Reporter***
