"Anselm: A 3D Film Review of Wim Wenders' Contemplative Portrait"
TL;DR
German filmmaker Wim Wenders' documentary "Anselm" explores the life and work of artist Anselm Kiefer, known for his large-scale installations addressing the catastrophic events of the twentieth century. Wenders portrays Kiefer's intimidating figure in 3D, providing a tactile experience of his art. The film avoids critical analysis or personal anecdotes, instead encouraging viewers to formulate their own questions. However, it neglects to address the financial support behind Kiefer's vision. "Anselm" is currently in limited release.
