In the name of art
To a certain point is a perfect document. Creators using an image can characterize the hero, to bring its audience profile, eschewing literalism. They are trying to be more subtle in describing personality.
Marina Abramovic appears here as an intelligent artist who does not always know what it is for her behavior, but when something is sure honestly can tell. Interestingly, it turns out to be closer to the viewer than it may seem. Besides the art of a normal woman, not much differs from ordinary bread eaters. He does not believe that the performance is "better" form of expression. Not exalted, despite great achievements. With respect he refers to the cinema, theater or illusion. He can talk about his work with a certain degree of detachment and objectivity. I appreciate it. Even silly things that sometimes happens to tell her are nice. In the early stages of Matthew Akers viewer proves that creativity Marina is not so simple and the most efekciarska as it seems. Body art is not for food snobs.
It is a field in which the means of artistic expression may seem unique, but is a form of open to interpretation, and containing a huge injection of emotions. Even I was pretty skeptical treated "performance" Miss Abramovic. But hearing the explanation of the artist's sense of mortification on his own body, I had no doubt that they actually want something. Even if her way of "self-expression" is controversial. Following an introduction followed by the settlement of a personal life heroine.
There was not without emotional exhibitionism.
Everyone tries to freely say what they really feel and what regrets.
Heroes admit their mistakes, recall the greatest moments and forms of this unusual love story. I never thought it would be given to me to see a documentary film that deals with feelings directly. The story of the relationship Ulay and Marina is also a story of their artistic development. Often your desires and occupations reported to making them part of the show.
Reunion of two lovers, the last performance art is the perfect end to this thread. And maybe the film, because in the last stages significantly decreases the level of the whole. The final 25 minutes shows the artist's relationships with customers. This passage was needed, but it could be shorter, because it is by far the weakest part. It is a never-ending series of flattery towards Marina Abramović from her friends, fans and colleagues. People get crazy, praising it above the heavens, interpretations abound performance (sometimes even over-interpretation), and in the intervals between the statements still watch the faces of visitors to the exhibition. Lots of repeat motifs here, and the director himself dressed in the words of the conclusions that we could draw from the first film.
Despite this, "the current artist" deserves notice. I have not seen such a good document. It's the perfect monument to how it was possible to build the main character.

Certainly many will see at the end of Marina on the other side and think twice before you called it Szarlatanka. .
