Your life is a kaleidoscope of events and deep emotions translated
into a very powerful aesthetic. I watched your movie and time stopped.”
Marina
Abramovich
"It takes huge courage to show
your own piece of art to anyone, and to show a film on a big screen, to a big
audience is courage in the extreme – AND it was a completely open and honest ,
almost disarmingly honest, autobiographical film.
I didn’t think the music was inaudible – I
loved your choice of music, and thought it acted as a really great way of
moving you thru the film. I also thought the cinematography and editing were
very beautiful. There is a compelling, whimsical tone enhanced by the use of
light which is very more-ish
I would have like to have seen more of you
in the film – we all said the same. You have something - a delightful,
slightly vulnerable, beguiling honest charm which is lost when someone else
tries to do it". Amanda Neville BFI
