(At that same time he also shot a Lou Reed concert film, a song from which we’ve previously featured here on Open Culture.) In the 2000s he followed it up with Before Night Falls, about Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas, and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, about a French magazine editor turned writer after a stroke left him “locked” inside his own head. After making it big in the art world himself in the late 1970s and 1980s with his signature large-scale canvasses incorporating a wide variety of materials, he got behind the camera in 1996 to direct Basquiat, a biopic on the eponymous graffiti-artist-turned-painter.
His work in both has more connection than it might at first seem, since most of his films are about art, or at least about artists. We know Julian Schnabel for working in two forms: painting and film.
