From films by Errol Morris to Orson Welles, Laura Poitras to Les Blank, the Maysles to Wim Wenders and Werner Herzog, here are the best documentaries ever made.
What makes a documentary “important”? What makes it worth referencing, or remembering, or even watching in the first place? Why, at a moment when world events are often stranger than fiction, would we veer from the vaunted, glorious escapism of big feature films and opt for something small and rooted in the real, instead? Documentaries can be a hard sell, but it’s one that’s getting easier all the time.
Pina Initially conceived as a collaboration between director Wim Wenders and his friend of 20 years, the choreographer Pina Bausch, after Bausch died in 2009 of cancer, Pina took on a life of its own. The film “is a filming of dance more so than it is a unified documentary about it,” Antonina Jedrzejczak wrote in Vogue, “evocative in its elegant use of 3-D, Pina has no plot, chronology, or narration to speak of.” What it does have is movement.
