Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow (Sophie Fiennes, 2010)

7/10
An interesting documentary on the artist Anselm Kiefer, who since 2000 has been constructing his own city in the South of France. Kiefer has built 43 buildings to house his artworks, and other towers, lakes, tunnels, and bridges. It's all quite impressive and director Sophie Fiennes gives plenty of respect to Kiefer's work, letting the camera linger over his sculptures for lengthy stretches. But as this was my third movie after working a full day, I was too tired to really appreciate it I think.
