摘要

For 20 years after first being exposed to the works of German choreographer Pina Bausch (1940-2009), acclaimed filmmaker Wenders (Wings of Desire; Paris, Texas) wanted to bring her unique dances to the screen. However, existing film technology did not allow him to achieve his vision. With new advances in 3-D film technology, he had what he needed. He and Bausch were working to bring the project to fruition when she died suddenly in 2009. The project was canceled, but the dancers reminded Wenders that several of Bausch's masterpieces had been specifically scheduled in the coming season so that they could be filmed. With that, the project began anew as a tribute to Bausch rather than a chronicle about her.
