"Perhaps the most ravishing aesthetic experience to be found at the Film Society," wrote Ao Scott in the New York Times last week, "is Wim Wenders's Pina, a 3-D documentary tribute to the life and work of the German choreographer Pina Bausch. "Live-action 3D is usually disappointing, bullying the eye and foreshortening rather than expanding the kinetic pleasure of watching bodies move through space.
