Anselm treats the audience to an exclusive, front row seat to watch the artist at work. For over two years, Wenders traced Kiefer’s path from his native Germany to his current home in France, connecting the stages of his life to the essential places of his phenomenal career that spans more than five decades.

The result is a profound study of the artist’s work, which explores human existence and the cyclical nature of history, inspired by literature, poetry, philosophy, science, mythology and religion.

★★★★ "this is a superbly controlled and expressed film and its high seriousness about the nature and purpose of art really is invigorating." The Guardian
