Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow

Documentary on German landscape artist Anselm Kiefer.

"With a hushed, steady tread Sophie Fiennes draws us into the monumental wasteland being created by German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer in the grounds of an abandoned silk factory at Barjac, in the south of France, and shows us the artist at work. Kiefer’s work evokes 20th-century Europe as a ruined ancient civilisation, and Fiennes immerses us in his world simply and to haunting effect with stately camera movement and a minimal score by Jörg Widmann and György Ligeti."
