PINA

After watching the PINA movie, there will be an urge to release running, probably infected by the powerful aura of Pina Bausch.

The master who equates life with dance uses the body to outline the beating soul.

Dance and stage are the focus. The film is interspersed with classic repertoires choreographed or performed by Pina. The profile of Pina is outlined through the narration of the other dancers in the troupe. No more words and dialogues. Everything is clear and clean. Every picture is so simple and delicate, and the colors are very beautiful. The 3D effect brings the audience closer to the dancers. Sometimes it feels like I'm watching a stage show instead of a movie.

The portrait-like shot pulls you back into the world of cinema as the dancers narrate Pina. Although there are not many scenes about Pina, the whole movie comes down to draw a real and charismatic her.

She said, "Let's dance, dance, or we'll get lost." In a dancer's mind, moving the body is the only way of self-expression and self-reflection. This is her world, dance, dance, and dance is dance.

Whether it is on a well-arranged stage, in an industrial city street, or in the purest nature, you can dance to your heart's content. Use dance to integrate body and soul into life, into nature, and into all substances.

Whether it is reinforced concrete or suspended trams, whether it is flowers and trees or Tianyun waterstone, all these can be responded to with dance. This is Pina Bausch's personal charm, a passion that you can't ignore and can't help but be infected, a kind of courage that others can't control.

    Wim Wenders expresses his understanding of dance artist Pina and her stage plays through the audiovisual language of the film. The camera is placed on the stage, which conveys a perspective that the audience cannot directly perceive, and enhances the charm and tension of the dance art itself. Exquisite, beautiful, fashionable and modern dance, including tribute to dance masters and exploration of various life themes, if you watch it in 3D, it will have a stronger appeal

    The first lady of German modern dance, a very literary documentary. It's a pity that I couldn't see the original 3D version, it feels a lot worse
