Summary

"In Anselm, Wim Wenders creates a hypnotic portrait of Anselm Kiefer, one of the most innovative and important painters and sculptors of our time. Shot in 6K resolution, and presented theatrically and on Blu-ray in 3D, the film presents an immersive cinematic experience of the German artist's work, which explores the overawing beauty of human existence, landscape, and myth while confronting the horrors of his country's history and seeking to undo the postwar silence in which both artist and director came of age. Through archival footage, biographical scenes, and direct access to his subject at work amid the massive installation in southern France where he now lives among his creations, Wenders traces the arc of Kiefer's career, provoking an engagement with creativity through the senses, the intellect, and the spirit" --Container.
