Wim WendersPina
oldfilmsflicker: bbook: hillaryweston: There’s that line in the film that says, “What are we longing for? Where does all this yearning come from?” I feel like that’s a central theme in so much of your work and this was a way to physicalize this deep longing. That was something that maybe tied us together, Pina and me. When I saw her pieces for the first time I realized we had a subject in common, as well. Many of my films were trying to deal with the same issues in different ways, [but] certainly not in the same way she was able to do it without words and without story. There was never a story; in some of her pieces there is a red line going through, but it’s not a plot; in movies you always have a story to carry you, and I realized that maybe stories are in the way…[of] the core of things. The way Pina gets to the core of what love and loss means… I just don’t know a single film that has been able to come remotely close to that. Wim Wenders on His Dear Friend Pina Bausch and the Film He Made in Her Honor ONLY NOMINATION THAT MATTERS. I NEED TO SEE THIS. This film is THE SHIT. Go Wim.
