Summary

Seductive, fearless, and outrageous, Marina Abramovic has been redefining what art is for nearly forty years. Using her own body as a vehicle, pushing herself beyond her physical and mental limits??and at times risking her life in the process??she creates performances that challenge, shock, and move us. Through her and with her, boundaries are crossed, consciousness expanded, and art as we know it is reborn. She is, quite simply, one of the most compelling artists of our time.. “Easily the best documentary of the Sundance Film Festival, it's also an early contender for best doc of 2012.” - Jesse Hawthorne, San Francisco Bay Guardian. “Breathtaking...Extraordinary. The movie?s power as a potent secondhand art high is damned near peerless.” - David Fear, Time Out New York. Winner! Berlin International Film Festival 2012 - Panorama Audience Award, Documentary Film. Winner! Sarajevo Film Festival 2012 - Audience Award, Best Feature Film. Sundance Film Festival 2012 - Official Selection. Sundance Film Festival 2012 Grand Jury Prize Nominee - Documentary
