Unique deep dive into an artist's creative work
Anselm Kiefer, one of the most influential contemporary artists, opens his world to director Wim Wenders. It’s a world where Kiefer, known for his monumental paintings and sculptures, explores the cyclical nature of history and human existence, inspired by mythology and philosophy.
Wenders creates a portrait of Kiefer’s artistic journey, starting from post-war Germany to his current studio in France, where his ateliers have been customised from actual factories. We are invited to follow breathtaking processes of creation, as ambitious vision comes to life in environments that reflect the scale and intensity of Kiefer’s work.
Anselm delivers a unique 3D cinematic experience that intertwines the artist’s life story with his art while maintaining a respectful distance from Kiefer’s personal life. The film focuses on the raw, often grueling creative process, revealing the deeply human side of Kiefer’s powerful and labor-intensive art. It has been hailed as one of the most significant art documentaries in recent years.
