In Anselm, Wim Wenders creates a portrait of Anselm Kiefer, one of the most innovative and important painters and sculptors of our time. The film presents a cinematic experience of the artist’s work 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. Past and present are interwoven to diffuse the line between film and painting in Anselm which premiered at Cannes at a Special Screening. ‘What I hope for an audience to take away from the experience of Anselm?’ asks Wenders, ‘that they leave behind categories and opinions, leave behind any preconception of what art can be or can achieve, and just take in the stunning scope of this great German romantic, poet, thinker and visionary Anselm Kiefer.’
