Exquisite. The Pina trailer doesn't do justice to the full wonderful haunting film with music of Jun Miyake.

Thank you Paul. I was bought a book of Wim Wenders Polaroids for my birthday and it inspired me to seek out more of his movies. Watching Pina blew me away - a great film for sure, and yes incredible music - yet it was the dance that mesmerised me. The way it seemed so totally relatable, so expressive - but also so incomprehensible - I don't think I can say much more than it inspired me deeply.

What a wonderful lament to the art of creating movement and music that touches and lingers in the heart and head even years after the final curtain closes.

In honor of your beautifully written ode and all that went into the production of, “Pina”, the rest of the story is worth knowing :)

It is important to mention that the work of Pina Bausch influenced some of the world famous artists and performers such as David Bowie.

(I wonder if the singer, Sia, was influenced by Pina’s works when she hired Maddie Ziegler to dance in her video called , “Chandelier.”)

Thank you REW. What an incredible human she was. I think that an artist can inspire cross creative genres is a mark of true genius.

One of the relatively few times in which words fail me for more than a sentence. Frail gelatinous things that still have density & mass under correct usage.

Great verse !
