    Pina (Wenders)

    Couldn't find a thread for this, so here it is. Supposed to be released in the US later this month. Looks excellent, and to have easily the best use of 3D in a film so far.

    The site won't embed the trailer, so here it is.

    And you're judging this by what exactly?
    Sure why not?

    By the fact that it looks awesome, and the premise sounds perfect for 3D.

    The perfect marriage of subject matter and director. This film captures the artistry of a genius and does so with care and delicacy. Wenders never strays too far from Pina's extraordinary work, but also masterfully allows us to experience the individuality of each of Pina's dancers. We see how Pina was not just a dictator who ordered around a collection of bodies. We see how she cherished difference and individuality and brought that out in those she worked with. Achingly beautiful.

    What Spinal said. Absolutely fantastic use of 3D, too. First 3D movie I've seen where I really can't imagine seeing it in 2D.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I fell asleep to this during Telluride. It was 8 AM, and I was out till 2 AM the night prior. Not the best of viewing circumstances.
