This documentary is about Pina Bausch and the Tanztheater
Wuppertal dance company. I do not pretend to understand modern or interpretive
dance, but I found this film breathtaking in places. While I would have liked
more about her life (she died 2 days before filming began), this piece, or
rather collection of pieces, speaks a great deal. I enjoy ballet (another
medium I don't understand, but enjoy it), and now I have modern or interpretive
dance to add to my enjoyment. The emotions of the dancers came through their
movements rather than facial expression, and at times, I would have liked to
see the face as part of the dance. The reviews are all over the spectrum, and
with good reason. It is, purely, a thing of the heart.
