Tha-at's right

About This Movie

"Tha-at's right" is a fascinating exploration of dance and criticism, where the abstract ideas of Edwin Denby's review from 1959 are brought to life through movement. The film's approach is unique—taking Denby's vivid, sometimes surreal metaphors and transforming them into a choreographed experience. The atmosphere is rich, almost hypnotic, as the dancers interpret these concepts. The pacing varies, sometimes lingering on particular movements that echo the complexities of the original text. It's not just about dance; it's a study of perception and interpretation, which makes it feel quite distinctive. You see how the dancers embody these poetic ideas, and it invites you to consider how we connect art and language—definitely a different kind of documentary.
