Supplied In A Private Portrait, Julian Schnabel's body of work, his films and influence on a generation of young artists are all kind of mentioned without context, or critique. Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait Schnabel is a fascinating bloke, but this 2017 effort from director Pappi Corsicato does its very best to get in the way of you appreciating him. Corsicato directs by simply lapping up every cliché that artists like to spout about themselves and regurgitates it in a badly paced and mostly structureless film. Schnabel's body of work, his films, his influence on a generation of young artists and his embrace of everything the white-hot Manhattan art world had to offer in the 1980s are all kind of – not glossed over, exactly – but mentioned without context, or critique. What remains is the impression that Schnabel's greatness – actual, or just proclaimed – was too much for Corsicato to dare to really examine.
