Watching Pina is like being inside one of Bausch's surreal pieces.
Top CriticA remarkable -- and likely enduring -- tribute to an artist committed to creating dance theater drawn from humanity's deepest physical and emotional reserves.
A unique and often sublime artistic experience, "Pina" is a 3-D dance film that immerses us in the movement, letting us feel that we could reach out and touch these dancers as they float past us.
For anyone with an interest in dance, "Pina" is a must-see. For anyone not interested in contemporary dance, "Pina" is a should-see. It could change your mind.
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.
What might seem like a convenient bid for publicity - the first 3-D art-house film! - turns out to be the only logical way to showcase the action.
a stark, invigorating reminder that great art never dies with the artist
Wim Wenders's great fusion of documentary, concert film, and passionate concept-art installation earns its unsurprisingly superlative Criterion treatment.
The creative marriage of two real artists, Pina and Wim, turns out better than even a Dale Carnegie bred optimist could hope for
...as beautiful as it is perplexing.
Joy, anger, terror, grief - the entire range of human experience can be found in these dances.
Wenders usa sua própria forma de expressão artística (o Cinema) para recriar e enriquecer a obra de Bausch.
'Undefeated' won the Oscar, but the most truly inspiring of the Documentary Feature nominees is 'Pina.' I know next to nothing about dance, and I was mesmerized.
Mondern-dance documentary is visually dazzling but it doesn't make the slightest effort to invite the unconverted to the party.
Bring someone who doubts that movies can surprise us anymore. ... Bring somebody who isn't yet excited about stereoscopic cinema. They'll change their minds.
Most documentaries put us inside people's heads. The dazzling, experimental Pina puts us inside people's feet.
[An] utterly transfixing, exhilarating spectacle of bodies in motion.
The 3-D is so subtle, unobtrusive and low-key that at times I felt like I was watching the movie through a View-Master rather than the requisite plastic glasses. That's not meant as a knock.
"Pina" isn't just for dance fans or those curious about the latest in 3-D. It's a celebration of life.
An immersive moviegoing experience beyond imagination.
Outsiders might have more difficulty comprehending Bausch's mastery, especially whacked up into bite-sized pieces of inscrutable emotion and abrupt movement.
Dance fans won't want to miss it, but be prepared to be frustrated almost as often as you're awed.
Audience Reviews for Pina
Super Reviewer
Pina gives me such a peace, but her choreographies disturb me in such a way that I wonder if it may be the fear of the mirror (identification) or fear of primitivism (has freedom necessarily to be the "loss of self-control"? - only by the loss of the self - that lives in social conditioning - we can find ourselves?).
"Your fragility is your strength".
