Summary: Anselm Kiefer is one of the most innovative and important painters and sculptors of our time. He allowed an immersive cinematic experience of his work exploring the overawing beauty of human existence, landscape, and myth while confronting the horrors of his native Germany's history and seeking to undo the postwar silence in which both artist and director came of age. Through archival footage, biographical scenes, and direct access to his subject at work amid the massive installation in southern France where he now lives among his creations, follow the arc of Kiefer's career.
