Review: Pina

By L. KENT WOLGAMOTT / Lincoln Journal Star

"Pina" takes its name from Pina Bausch, a German choreographer whose dances mined emotion as well as the body and movement, creating deeply powerful art for more than three decades...The dancers are a compelling lot; some had been with Bausch since the company was founded 35 years ago, while one young woman is the daughter of two dancers, the first kid in the company. They are multi-generational and come from around Europe and Asia, each bringing something of themselves -- or finding something of Bausch inside them.
Their physicality is striking, their work highly emotional. That was Bausch's aim -- to get everything human out of dance, to express with movement what words cannot say. It does that on screen in "Pina," a heartfelt tribute to Bausch that dance lovers cannot afford to miss.

In his exhilarating new film, German master Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire, The Buena Vista Social Club) captures the brilliantly inventive dance world of legendary choreographer Pina Bausch. Wenders had conceived with Bausch a dance film like none seen before, putting the viewer deep inside Bausch's playful, thrillingly unpredictable pieces. After her untimely death in 2009, Wenders continued with the project, turning it into the most exciting tribute he could imagine. Sensual and visually stunning, taking the audience into Bausch's work in her imaginative sets (a gliding monorail, a bare stage covered with chairs, a towering man-made waterfall) and powerfully rendering the beauty and sheer physicality of the dances and dancers of her Tanztheater Wuppertal ensemble.
