Bausch / Wenders – Pina ... the movie

Algo de uma pureza estética/ritual inigualável...
Uma homenagem de Wim a Pina.
Uma homenagem de todos nós à genialidade.

Pina Bausch was one of the world’s most radical and influential dance-makers. So it seems entirely fitting that the film made in tribute to her by director Wim Wenders should be the first to suggest the real artistic possibilities of 3D.

Pina is both moving and miraculous in all kinds of ways. To begin with, it is an extraordinary record of the work that Bausch made since first setting up her company in Wuppertal in 1973. Pieces such as The Rite of Spring and Café Müller are filmed with a passion and vitality that make them almost as vivid and powerful as they are on stage. By placing his cameras in the middle of the action, Wenders makes them participants as well as recorders.
Wenders does something unexpected: he actually uses the 3D as a metaphor, creating an almost sculptural memorial for his friend, who died unexpectedly two years ago. So he sets her photograph in a recess at the back of the action: her inspiration is behind everything. He lets his camera rest on the faces of her dancers as they talk, paying tribute like mourners at a memorial service.
