With Julian Schnabel in person at the March 4 screening. Q&A moderated by Sean O’Neal, film, music and culture journalist for Texas Monthly.
“In the struggle for perfection in art, our lives may be less than perfect — even plagued with failure — but everything that exists outside the work of art doesn’t exist. The goal is to become the poem. Dante and Nick achieved that. I’m still working on it. Everything I really have to say is in my art.”
—Julian Schnabel
Oscar-nominated® director Julian Schnabel uses the life and the novel of writer Nick Tosches as a jumping-off point for a story taking place in both the 14th and 21st centuries, as Nick Tosches and Dante Alighieri’s parallel stories are interwoven and connected by Oscar Isaac’s singular performance.
