Our take
Before Pina, the sometimes-documentarian Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire, Buena Vista Social Club) crafted this documentary portrait of Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado: a prizewinner at Cannes that went on to be nominated for the Academy Award®. Co-directed with Salgado’s son, Juliano.
