I'm not usually into dance related movies - mostly because the dance related movies I've seen happen to consist of 'Honey' and 'Step Up'...
This however is a whole other experience. The trailer lets on at how breathtakingly well it is shot and arranged.
It reminded me of the Polish artist Kantor's stage work called 'Dead Class'. The characters don't exactly dance in his work but they convey so much emotive dialogue through their actions and it is acutely choreographed by Kantor. The video is surreal verging on absurd but if you read around a little you can figure out what's going on well enough to realise it's brilliant. The concept behind the Dead Class is intensely profound but visually I think it corresponds to Pina well.
