Attention Wim Wenders fans! Four decades and dozens of films on, the director of Paris Texas and Wings of Desire is now equally acclaimed as a documentary filmmaker (Pina, Buena Vista Social Club) whose body of work makes for an extraordinarily rich viewing experience.

In Anselm, Wenders creates a portrait of Anselm Kiefer, one of the most innovative and important painters and sculptors of our time. The film presents a total immersion in the artist’s work and practice which explores human existence and the cyclical nature of history, inspired by literature, poetry, philosophy, science, mythology and religion. For over two years, Wenders traced Kiefer’s path from his native Germany to his current home in France, connecting the stages of his life to the essential places of his career that spans more than five decades. A viewing experience like no other.
