Pina Bausch - Kontakthof (Nazareth Panadero)

Pina - Wim Wenders (Germany 2011) In this Kontakthof sequence, men gradually gather around Nazareth Panadero, their at-first-experimental patting and poking and manipulating of the inert woman becoming increasingly punitive. Wenders stays on this scene in medium close-up, and the enthusiastic men finally fill the frame, suggesting insects feeding off a host. (by Deborah Jowitt).
