   Pina is a documentary about dance choreographer Pina Bausch by acclaimed German director Wim Wenders, a project he almost abandoned when his friend Pina died during pre-production, but was convinced by her dancers to do it as a tribute to her. There are interviews with the many dancers who worked with her, and these are poetically rendered, voice-over on silent expressive faces, but the screen is mostly filled with astonishing dances performances. Four of Pina's dance plays were filmed, and we get long extracts of these, and dancers also got to do solos and duets in public - a Berlin street, on a train, in a quarry, etc. - showing off things they workshopped with Pina. It's a love letter to dance as a medium, and to its untapped possibilities as a story-telling tool. 8 years 10 months ago

   For those who enjoy her work, there is an homage to Pina and her plays in the movie "Hable con ella" directed by Almodovar. 11 years 6 months ago

   I'm not even into dance, but I found Pina to be surprisingly enjoyable 12 years ago
