Preview: Pina (2011)

Synopsis:

Wim Wenders has crafted this loving documentary tribute to renowned choreographer Pina Bausch.

• Poster: C+

Review:

This isn't the most compelling image to use as there are more gorgeous shots in the film. It might appeal to dancers, but to cross over, it needs a more intriguing design.

• Trailer: A

Review:

The choreography is stunning and the choice of images provides a strong justification to see the film.

Oscar Prospects:

Eligible for both Best Documentary Feature and Best Foreign Language Film, I would expect it to be ignored in the latter and embraced in the former.

Release Date:

• December 23, 2011
