This meditation on movement and space, transportation and transcendence is not to be missed.
What the filmmaker has created is an inspired simulacrum - a jewel-box that contains more of Bausch's kinetic soul than film has any right to.
Crane and steadycam allow Wenders to get so close to the action that in the minimalist Caf? M?ller, one's illusion of being on stage is uncanny.
"Pina"is the best possible tribute to Bausch, and to adventurous image-making.
I watched the film in a sort of reverie.
Whether you're familiar with Pina Bausch's work or not, the new film "Pina" is a knockout.
This seems like a ripping good idea. In practice, "Pina" turns out to have a few problems.
Suggests thrilling new possibilities for the marriage of movies and dance.
Even for someone who would rather count sheep than attend a ballet, these scenes are nothing short of astonishing, beautifully presenting dance's ability to depict words.
You won't hear the names Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Paul Taylor or Bob Fosse breathed herein.
An exhilarating experience, both in its celebration of Bausch's groundbreaking work and in the thrilling way that Wenders captures it on camera.
It's not an overview of Bausch's career or a statement on her art, but a celebration of her work and the dancers who bring it to life.
This is a stunning film, a glorious homage to modern dance and one of its premier authors and the best justification of 3D technology to date.
With a breakout use of 3D for artistic rather than solely commercial blockbuster purposes, German director Wim Wenders gives extraordinary life to the work of choreographer Pina Bausch.
