Julian Schnabel

Tamra Davis’s essential documentary on a visionary, Jean-Michel Basquiat, looks beyond his enigmatic aura. A vibrant, tantalizing study of an artist who, in the director’s own words, “became famous for his art, and then became famous for being famous, and then became famous for being infamous.”

Willem Dafoe followed his Best Actor prize at Venice with an Oscar® nomination for his magnificent performance as Vincent van Gogh in this impressionistic biopic. Beautifully directed by Julian Schnabel, At Eternity’s Gate is an immersive portrait, not just of the artist, but his singular worldview.
