Pina * a film for Pina Bausch by Wim Wenders
If Pina is playing within a 50 mile radius of where you are, arrange to see it, and if it is further away, take the weekend and see this extraordinary film.
Even if you don*t especially like dance movies, for those who love psychoanalysis you will be entranced by this movie and I believe enjoy seeing how dance brings psychoanalytic ideas to public consciousness.
It is a dance movie*.an exquisite superlative dance film in which the unique choreography is always focused on relationships. we see a couple in an embrace. their arms are about each other is a certain fashion, her cheek close *

XXV. We Have a Pope Reviewed by Selma Duckler
This Italian movie (English subtitles), billed as a comedy opens with a funeral. Actually it is the real footage of the funeral of the real Pope John Paul. It is very impressive and I believe this scene is the key to the movie that follows. We watch the procession of the chanting 108 Cardinals. Soon we are given closeups of the serious demeanor of their faces. Some of these faces, have their name and home country printed to show us the authenticity of what we are viewing and even though we may not realize it, we have actually moved smoothly into the fictitious tale that is the film we are going to see. This quality of the genuine persists throughout the movie. We feel honored that we are invited into the Apostolic Palace, but actually we are seeing a very faithful replica that has been built for our seduction to believe this is real. In fact one of the pleasures of this movie is that it takes us into a place that is shielded from public eyes,
