ANSELM in 3D
Special Features: One week only!
[ANSELM – DAS RAUSCHEN DER ZEIT]
Artist and iconoclast Anselm Kiefer probes the past, holding up a mirror to post-war Germany through his photography, sculpture and massive architectural installations. Working again in 3D after his acclaimed 2011 documentary PINA, director Wim Wenders brings depth to this stereoscopic portrait, creating a collage of the artist's past and present to fashion an immersive exploration of his spirit. With unfettered access to La Ribaute, Kiefer's estate in the south of France, Wenders' roving camera explores the artist's cavernous archives, his expansive grounds littered with headless sculptures and teetering towers and his studio, where flamethrowers singe canvases and molten metals are poured. A mesmerizing look at Kiefer's creative and intellectual processes, shot in ultra-high definition 6K by Franz Lustig (who also collaborated with Wenders on this year's PERFECT DAYS), ANSELM is a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. DIR Wim Wenders; PROD Karsten Brünig. Germany, 2023, color/b&w, 93 min. In German with English subtitles. NOT RATED
