伊万洁利亚的纪录片是白日梦般的电影诗篇。《朦胧的巴洛克》记录了一位在巴西颇有影响力的变性人，卢安娜穆尼斯的生活点滴。伊万洁利亚试图描绘一座城市的社会现状，是如何影响个体的追求与改变。笼罩在这座城市上方的是争论不休的极端主义、政治冲突，还有层出不穷的变装嘉年华。而在这片笼罩下的，是行走的变装小丑，是跳着巴西热舞的异装癖者，是夹缝生存的变性者。

Dramatisation of the Biblical story of Saint Paul. As Saul of Tarsus becomes Paul and sets off to spread the word of the gospel of Jesus, he is pursued by his once friend, Ruben, who now wishes him dead...

STATEMENT 　　Here and now 　　In the film Balkan Baroque, one has the impression that the character invents the past as she speaks, here and now. This past seems to have no reality outside the moment it is evoked with the force that is characteristic of film work. Here, in Balkan Baroque, it has become the present, the present of the film unwinding before the viewer's eyes. 　　What we see on the screen is in the process of happening-it is the very gesture that is given to us and not a report on it. The universe of the film is given in a perpetual present. In other words, this biography of Marina Abramovic, which implies a number of past things, is in process of unfolding before our eyes, here and now, as we watch Balkan Baroque. 'Elsewhere' and 'formerly' do not exist. There is no longer a true reality, inherent and external to the film, so there is no longer anything but the sole reality of the projected images. The film, the universe that it reveals, suffices by itself, at every instant, erasing itself as it goes along, within a loop that is literally never-ending. 　　We are therefore dealing with a subjective, mental unwinding. The work Balkan Baroque is not account of an exterior reality; it is its own reality. The only time to be considered for this biography is the projection time (63'). Balkan Baroque is pure fiction, an imaginary production in which Marina Abramovic plays different roles, including the role of the artist doing performances.

Saint Peter, a reluctant but passionate leader, from the crucifixion of Jesus to his own. The film's first half dramatizes the New Testament's "Acts": early fear, the renewal of Pentecost, Saul's conversion, the decision to baptize pagans, and the Apostles' dispersal. In the second half, an aged Peter goes to Rome to join Paul, arriving on the day of Paul's arrest. Paul's death brings a crisis to Rome's Christians and to Peter; lessons from Jesus's teachings guide his decision to stay. Events within the fictive household of Persius, a Roman aristocrat, capture the upheaval that Christian teachings bring to the Eternal City.
