About this episode

Rebecca and Tori discuss the 2011 documentary 'pina' and their interpretations of contemporary dance.

Rebecca and Tori continue their Recommended By series, Picks from the Criterion Closet, with the 2011 documentary, 'pina.' Recommended by Katya Zamolodchikova, we venture on a journey to interpret contemporary dance. As self-professed dance Luddites, we can only discuss our interpretations using our meager knowledge of the language of dance. Forgive us if we get it entirely wrong.
