The DOGTOOTH dance
This dance sequence from the 2009 Greek film DOGTOOTH, directed by GIORGOS LANTHIMOS, is a good shock to the system, like the film itself.
I heard Ms. AGGELIKI PAPOULIA did her own choreography...

From Brooklyn, NY, "mutant" dancer STORYBOARD P.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. TINY TIM
Every once in a while, the world produces a true eccentric who somehow rises to fame without shedding any charm.
From an Austrialian Television special (date unknown) TINY TIM sings one of his signature songs. I especially love how he carries his instrument in a shopping bag.
The Four Times
The 2011 film LE QUATTRO VOLTE by MICHAELANGELO FRAMMARTINO is a kind of lyrical ode to life in a tiny, rural Italian village.
The trailer for the mostly wordless film, adds on a voice-over that serves as a kind of entry point to the poetic and non-narrative style to expect in the film.
Pina in 2D
In the new film PINA by WIM WENDERS, the dance company of the late PINA BAUSCH is featured, along with a number of pieces.
The short bits of her dances translate well to film, and although the filming is done in 3D, I might like the 2D better.
