"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. The film delves into Kiefer's uncompromising gaze at Germany's dark histories and his own place in them. 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. While the documentary doesn't try to endear us to its subject, it offers a vivid portrayal of Kiefer's art and his philosophical reflections on his nation's past.

"Anselm: A 3D Film Review of Wim Wenders' Contemplative Portrait"

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.

Wim Wenders' 3D Portrait of German Artist Anselm Kiefer: A Review

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' 3D Portrait of Anselm Kiefer: A Reverent and Magnificent Documentary

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.
