Wim Wenders has crafted this loving documentary tribute to renowned choreographer Pina Bausch.
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.
The choreography is stunning and the choice of images provides a strong justification to see the film.
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.
I have not seen this film.
