Anselm
Wim Wenders' stately and beautifully scored study of Anselm Kiefer.
Director: Wim Wenders
Overview
Shot over a two-year period, Anselm is a potent portrait of a five-decade career. A technical tour de force, this epic film matches the scale of Kieferβs installations and captures the cavernous ateliers in which the artist thinks and toils. Wendersβ focus is directed towards Kieferβs working methodology and the forces that shaped it, but it also explores human existence and the cyclical nature of history, inspired by literature, poetry, philosophy, science, mythology and religion.
