"She's never not performing," says one friend. And the documentary, "Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present," confirms it.

Beginning as an overview of her career, this fascinating doc closes in on the show and its many revealing encounters, asking us to consider face-to-face engagement as a way of dissolving the barriers between an artist and her public.

This film is about how and why her fans and colleagues have fallen in love with her - and maybe just by understanding that, I too have fallen a little bit in love.
