Synopse

DOCUMENTARY Wim Wenders paints a portrait of one of the most important artists of our time: Anselm Kiefer. Shot in 3D, the film undertakes a journey through the work of an artist whose art deals with human existence and the cyclical nature of history, inspired by literature and poetry, history, philosophy, science, mythology and religion. Wenders followed Kiefer’s tracks for more than two years and links the various stages and locations of his life and work over the more than five decades of his career – between Kiefer’s origins in Germany and his present creative centre in France.
