Om denne filmen

"Dance, dance, or we are lost." Pina Bausch's final words summarize her life and provide the inspiration for acclaimed director Wim Wenders' (WINGS OF DESIRE, BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB) breathtaking tribute to the legendary choreographer. Bausch and her Tanztheater Wuppertal elevated dance into brilliantly subversive new expressive realms, and in this exhilarating film Wenders captures the raw, heart-stopping intensity of the movement and in stunning 3D transforms it into a transcendent cinematic experience. An official selection of the Berlinale, Telluride, Toronto and New York film festivals, and An official selection of the Berlinale, Telluride, Toronto and New York film festivals, and nominated in 2012 for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, PINA features interviews with and performances by Bausch's beloved original company members, and offers an indelible image of an artist who went the full distance in her uncommonly rich creative life.

Pina is hard to watch at first, especially if you are not a dancer. With an open mind and goal to seek out Wender's intention in the film (to dedicate a film to the passing of his friend and reflect on the art she has created in the past) and Bauch's intention in her own choreography, you can escape the American expectation of entertainment and find a very purposeful and fulfilling work of art.

Unless you are a dance freak or a huge fan of her work you will hate every minute of this film. It is a boring documentary full of meaningless commentary. Don't waste your time on it.

Too weird and jarring to sit through. We had high expectations but we ended walking out. Disturbing content...
