ANSELM (Germany, 2023) – Thursday, September 4, D100, 7:00pm
Legendary director Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire; Paris, Texas) continues his experiments in 3D documentary, having paid tribute to choreographer Pina Bausch in 2011. Here, Wenders explores the huge, immersive sculptures of Anselm Kiefer, interrogations of 20th century atrocities (and their contested legacies). Floating through a vast warehouse-gallery, Anselm’s camera convincingly proposes cinema as a means to know other artforms. “Watching the film, it’s easy to see why Kiefer’s work has been so widely praised and shown. It is enormous and elemental. What he’s doing feels like an attempt to capture the whole cosmos.” (The New York Times)
