Pina

As soon as the temperature rises, I become grumpy, lose my patience, the sky is too white, I only listen to the creep, I dont belong here... Thanks to Xiaoxun, I will go to the show again. As a result, it rained heavily as soon as I went out, dousing the discomfort and neurosis of the whole day.

Pina is a modern dance, I thought that admirers could probably count them with their fingers, so Xiaoxun told me that this film festival is hard to get a ticket, which makes people feel a bit unbelievable. Since when did Shanghai’s The audience began to care so much about modern dance and the theater culture. This time the theater was full. Although there was credit for Wenders' signature, it was obviously not due to the ability of 3D.

I was ready to watch it anyway, but honestly I still didn't enjoy the layering effect of those greasy and hard 3D glasses. Wenders handled it very carefully, trying to hide the director's point of view as much as possible, and only try to use the lens to objectively present the energy of the dancer and the space. Linking up Pina's life with the interviews of people around her is something that Citizen Kane has been doing since the beginning. It is very serious and effective. From the beginning to the end, the obscure modern dance shot is divided into chapters, which is extremely beautiful.

But I don't like the acclaimed "Café Mueller" at all. Pina plays a symbolic blind person in it. She is almost as bony as a sculpture by Giacometti, with her hands long dragged around her side, so cold The slightest gender trait. This chapter is so serious and metaphysically cautious that the dancers are stained with gray. Those chairs can obviously have better use.

"The Rite of Spring" is beautiful, and Stravinsky should be relieved.
"Full Moon" is better, boulders, heavy rain, moonlight, there's nothing I don't like.

Of course, she has a lot of careful thinking about the relationship between men and women, even with a little Greek tragic investigation. But I still think those solo dances are the most moving, a man dancing on the edge of an empty Roman theater, so much space, and he dances so well, a man trembling and praying in the glass space of a contemporary building, standing and praying, Lying down and praying, wailing and trembling. A man came out of the water like a god, balancing the wooden branches that others had placed on him. A black girl with a shaggy head, jumped high, stepped on the chair lightly, fell down after weightlessness, and jumped up again. What is the difference between dancing and games at this time? The joy and sheerness of shaking the body makes all thinking seem superfluous and stupid.

Pina looks like a very light woman, even if her face is wrinkled, she still smiles like a girl, even a little shy and shy. At the end of the film, she waved to everyone on the screen like a ghost, and then gradually disappeared. In the film, she said that some things cannot be said, and even if it is said, what is said is not important.

So is dancing.

    The director is amazing. I think the dancing is particularly difficult to film and cut. In addition, the interview method and organization are also very good. The rhythm is also very good, and the music is also very good! ! !

    It's nice to be able to enjoy a wonderful dance performance through a movie and get into the inner world of a dancer!
