Film Review – Cunningham

In 2011, director Wim Wenders created “Pina,” his celebration of dance choreographer Pina Bausch. Instead of merely documenting the life and times of Bausch, Wenders created an immersive world of movement, shooting the feature in 3D to bring dimension to different environments. Alla Kovgan has the same idea for “Cunningham,” with the helmer endeavoring to delivering a stunning document of beloved choreographer Merce Cunningham, who mastered challenging, brilliantly inventive dance performances.
