What’s it about?
Philippina “Pina” Bausch, German dancer and choreographer, died in 2009, just short of 69 years old.
She had introduced Germany and the West to a different style of dance that included the whims of the dancers themselves.
By a great and always surprising director, Wim Wenders, this is a tribute to her and her troupe, who perform throughout.
If you are absolutely sure that you don't like wonderful dance, you shouldn't bother to come. If, on the other hand, you have the very slightest doubt, you simply must and will be rewarded.
None of my aging books knows of it, so I cannot offer quotes. Having seen it on the box, however, I say that it is one of the most absorbing films that I have ever watched - and I'm not a ballet fiend.
