Pina in 3D by Wim Wenders: 100 percent emotion

Wim Wenders' documentary Pina left me astounded. I was left bathed with delight from beginning to end. Wim Wenders left no stone unturned, making this documentary a circular experience. This is what a documentary made with love looks like.

I've got two things to mention that made the experience emotionally enriching.

Aesthetically 3D technology was used in such a way to simulate the experience of a live dance performance in the theatre. 3D was an integral part of the treatment of the story, making it visually engaging in a near realistic way.

This realistic experience was accentuated by the underlying emotional journey of Pina Bausch's legendary life and labour of love as a dancer and choreographer, projected onto me in the audience. In just 100 minutes, I experienced delight, sorrow, happiness, ecstasy, the pain of death, loss and love.

It was a 100 percent emotional journey.
