Watching Pina is like being inside one of Bausch's surreal pieces.

Wenders uses this old/new interesting/gimmicky technology to play with the human perception of dimensionality as something subtle and profound, and not just a snazzy trick. The result in PINA, is...wow. -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Pina is a tribute of an artist by an artist, a friend to a friend. But its great genius comes from the mournful, as well as celebratory, reckoning of the performers Bausch pushed, collaborated with and inspired.
Denver Post
Rating: 4.5/5 --
The spellbinding fusion between dance and documentary proves dance as an incredibly evocative and powerful piece of cinema.

4 stars out of 5 -- [W]hen the extra-dimensional dancing is afoot, PINA all but spills out of the frame with vim and vigour.
Total Film
[PINA] takes unprecedented advantage of 3-D....PINA brings new meaning to the notion of a leap of faith, and new immediacy to filmed dance.
Wall Street Journal
Rating: 4/4 --
"Pina" isn't just for dance fans or those curious about the latest in 3-D. It's a celebration of life.

Product Description:
Pina Bausch was one of Europe's most celebrated choreographers, fusing the discipline of ballet with the freedom of modern dance and approaching her material in a bold, innovative and emotionally compelling manner. Bausch made the acquaintance of German filmmaker Wim Wenders, and he began making a documentary about her life and work. The focus of Wenders' film shifted dramatically in 2009, when Bausch was diagnosed with cancer and died only a few days later. Wenders considered abandoning the project, but after meeting with the members of her dance company, Tanztheater Wuppertal, Wenders chose instead to create a cinematic interpretation of Bausch's art, preserving several of her pieces and the work of her dancers for the ages. PINA is the result, a performance film that takes several of Bausch's dance pieces into the open and celebrates the beauty and physicality of dance; the film was shot in 3D to give a greater sense of the power and interplay of bodies in motion. PINA received its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
