Pina
Wim Wenders’ Oscar-nominated documentary about the life and work of the late Pina Bausch, celebrated dance choreographer, featuring spellbinding performances from her Tanztheater Wuppertal dancers.
Director: Wim Wenders
Overview
Is it dance? Is it theatre? Or is it just life? Pina focuses on the work of famous dance choreographer Pina Bausch, who died unexpectedly during preproduction. Wenders was convinced to go ahead with the production by Pina’s fellow dancers, who also appear in the film to talk about her legacy and perform some of her best-known pieces. A captivating and eye-popping tribute to an extraordinary dancer, Pina was Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary, and Germany’s official entry for Best Foreign Language Film.
