Review of Anselm

Anselm (2023)
2/10
Big disappointment= Anselm
10 November 2023
I saw this documentary about the German painter Anselm Keiffer at Doc Stories in San Francisco, This was a long, directionless documentary that shed little light about the painter. The best part of the doc was to see Keifer's studios and how he creates art, but other than that, it yields little information.

Wim Wender had incredible access to the Keifer yet squandered it. There are very few clips of Keifer actually speaking. I assume that Wender has a trove of interviews and footage with Keifer. It would be great if he could turn it over to another documentary filmmaker so that they could share this info with the public and prepare a robust documentary about this incredible painter.
