Film Weekly podcast: Wim Wenders' dance with Pina

This week Wim Wenders arrives to discuss his foray into the world of 3D with the documentary Pina, about the influential choreographer Pina Bausch. Wenders talks about his search for a technical and creative way to convey Bausch's work and how digital photography and 3D allowed him to give full creative flight to the dancers in his film. He recalls that it was the Pina Bausch dancers who, after Pina's sudden death in 2009, insisted he finish the film in homage to her unique vision.

Jason also meets an actor on the rise, Greta Gerwig. She was hugely impressive in Greenberg alongside Ben Stiller, and now she is appearing in the Arthur remake, starring alongside Russell Brand and Helen Mirren.

Xan Brooks joins in to review some of this week's other releases, including the "man against nature" Russian drama How I Ended This Summer and Luc Besson's latest release, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec.
