Watching Lou Reed’s BERLIN – a film by Julian Schnabel (2007), I’m reminded of a comment by Robert Hughes as quoted in David Markson’s this is not a novel:
“There are so few people who know how to make art.
– Julian Schnabel.
One less than he thinks. – Robert Hughes”
Rather than classic concert films such as Jonathon Demme and Talking Head’s Stop Making Sense (1984) and D A Pennebaker’s Ziggy Stardust (1983).
