Wim Wenders' Pina is a 3D love letter like no other.
Despite the pain of her unexpected death shortly before filming was to begin, her devoted company decided that the show must go on.
Their stunning portrait uses the power of dance to tell her story. Using vintage footage (including a performance in the immortal Cafe Muller), interviews and company repertoire, the film succeeds in capturing her essence, while preserving her legacy of Tanztheater.
I think she would have been pleased with the results. As she explained in a rare interview, "Some things are so terrible, there are not words. Evoking a feeling is enough--that’s where dance comes in."
