In German with English Subtitles. 

Premiering at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, Anselm treats the audience to an exclusive, front-row seat to watch the artist at work. Mining cultural texts and Kiefer’s personal history, the film contextualises his life’s work, while taking the audience on an experiential voyage of discovery.

Textual pleasures become vivid before our eyes, as we watch Kiefer roam through his enormous warehouse filled with his art, and the objects he uses to make it. We watch as he creates his monumental artworks using lead, concrete, glass, textiles, plant material, books, and fire.

Director- Wim Wenders

Cast- Anselm Kiefer, Daniel Kiefer, Anton Wenders

    Violence

    We see footage of war violence and it’s aftermath, including explosions and buildings left in rubble. There are references to the murders of several people, as well as to murder in a poetic context.

    Threat and horror

    Voice over readings are given with unsettling, sometimes ominous voices. We see a child’s sketched diagram of a jail, marked with the title ‘Bad children’s cell’.

    Sex

    We are told about a mythical female character who stole men’s semen from their bodies to create demonic children.

    Discrimination

    There are a number of references to antisemitism, the holocaust and Nazism, but these generally lack detail. We hear that a German artist made controversial work in order for his country to reckon with its wartime history; we see staged photos of the artist giving a ‘Sieg Heil’ salute while wearing his father’s Wehrmacht costume.

    Theme

    Voice over readings of poetry and other writing contain references to death. There is an artistic depiction of cancer in images of a person’s brain tumour.
