‘Anselm’ Trailer: Wim Wenders Uses 3D & 6K Resolution To Bring The Iconic Artist’s Work To Audiences

While documentaries come in all shapes and sizes, rarely are they made in the hopes of being visually astounding. In fact, with many documentaries, it’s the subject matter that is pushed to the forefront and the filmmaking is almost secondary. However, that’s definitely not the case for Wim Wenders’ “Anselm.”

In Anselm, Wim Wenders creates a portrait of Anselm Kiefer, one of the most innovative and important painters and sculptors of our time. Shot in 3D and 6K-resolution, the film presents a cinematic experience of the artist’s work which explores human existence and the cyclical nature of history, inspired by literature, poetry, philosophy, science, mythology and religion. 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 career that spans more than five decades.
