Sharing the joy of film
Rated PG – suitable for children under parental guidance by the BBFC
Wim Wenders’s Oscar-nominated zen Japanese drama is his best feature film in years. Hirayama cleans public toilets in Tokyo, lives his life in simplicity, appreciating each moment, alongside encounters that lead him to reflect on himself.
This zen meditation on beauty, fulfilment and simplicity is an achingly lovely and unexpectedly life-affirming picture.
Directed by Wim Wenders. English / Japanese with subtitles.
Pina is a documentary about German dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch. Directed by Wim Wenders.
With Pina’s sudden death during filming of the documentary Wenders cancelled the production, but the other dancers of Tanztheater Wuppertal convinced him to go ahead with the film.
Bausch was a leading exponent of “dance theatre” and this documentary shows her legendary approach to choreography and to her dancers. The dancers talk about Pina and perform some of her best-known pieces inside the Tanztheater Wuppertal. Wenders also filmed the dancers’ personal tributes to her in locations around Wuppertal bringing together dance, cinematography and the most fabulous music.
