"Exploring Anselm Kiefer's Cosmos: A Review of Wim Wenders' 3D Documentary 'Anselm'"

"Anselm" is a 3D documentary by Wim Wenders that explores the works of German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer.

Through visually immersive storytelling, Wenders captures the artist's use of burnt raw materials and evocative landscapes to convey the ravages of World War II.
