Vollmond - Ein Stück von Pina Bausch

About This Movie

Vollmond is quite the piece, a full recording of Pina Bausch's work captured by Wim Wenders. The atmosphere is ethereal, pulling you into its world where movement and emotion blend seamlessly. It's not just a performance; it's more like a dreamscape where every dancer seems to tell their own story, yet they all connect under that haunting full moon. The pacing has this hypnotic flow, drawing you deeper into the narrative without any rush. You can really feel the rawness and vulnerability in the performances; it’s a true showcase of Bausch’s vision with that unique mix of theatricality and intimacy. Wenders' lens adds to the haunting quality, making it distinctive in its approach to dance film.

Vollmond has seen a few limited releases but remains relatively scarce, especially among those seeking a solid representation of Bausch’s artistry on film. The interest among collectors is notable, particularly due to Wenders' unique direction and the intimate portrayal of dance that captures the essence of Bausch’s vision. Copies tend to be sought after for their artistic value rather than mainstream appeal, making it a distinctive find for those focused on performance art in cinema.
