Anselm PG

★★★★ – Guardian

Wim Wenders presents another spectacular documentary offering, this time delving into the world of German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer.

An exploration of the artist’s life through his work, focusing on the inspiration he finds in myth and the cyclical nature of human culture, truly immersing the audience into his work and joining the dots between the stages of Anselm’s life that contributed to his influential career.

Wenders uses his subject’s work to find a depth far beyond a traditional biographical doc, illuminating already impressive pieces of art and moulding them to the medium of film.
