German director Wim Wenders has expressed his disappointment at the current state of the film industry, stating that the dominance of mainstream remakes and repetitive franchises makes him "nauseous". Wenders believes that the focus on remakes and franchises has led to a lack of imagination in storytelling. He also encourages the use of 3D in filmmaking, which he believes is an undervalued resource. Wenders has two major premieres at Cannes this year, including his latest feature, Perfect Days, and an atmospheric documentary about the German painter Anselm Kiefer.

Wim Wenders' "Anselm" is a 3D 6K portrait of artist Anselm Kiefer, exploring his artistic preoccupations through images of his oeuvre and sensational use of archive rendered in 3D. The film is a particular study of a singular man's soul, told through his work, and is deeply concerned with chronology and memory. The film is both intimate and immersive, with the rendering of archival footage into 3D a particular coup. "Anselm" is a tour de force 3D art documentary, rich in ideas and breathtaking in technical execution.

Wim Wenders' documentary about German artist Anselm Kiefer presents his work in all its giganticism, with minimal archival interview material, and some fancifully conceived but successfully executed fantasy scenes of the artist in boyhood and young adulthood. The film is presented in 3D, accentuating the physicality of Kiefer's creations, and shows his vast studio areas, including his 40-hectare atelier site La Ribaute in Barjac, near Nîmes in the south of France. Kiefer's work is driven by Germany's dark past, and the film suggests that it is in the ruins of 1945, the year of the artist's birth, that the seed of inspiration is to be found.
