Comments: I had never heard of coreographer Pina Bausch, but after reading this article, I'm determined to know all of her works intimately.

Favorite bits: "It’s telling that we see the dancers moving only if they’re performing; otherwise, when they speak about Bausch, we hear their words in a voice-over while Wenders films them sitting utterly motionless. It is as if we’re reading their minds. And one conclusion is: What are they without Bausch but mute, still and locked up in their thoughts?"
