"The film bears witness to German artist Anselm Kiefer's alchemical creative processes and renders in film, as a cinematic journey, the personal universe he has built at his hill-studio estate in the South of France."
""In 1993, artist Anselm Kiefer left Buchen, Germany for La Ribaute, a derelict silk factory near Barjac, a town in the south of France. Like a strange, sprawling village, La Ribaute extends over 35 hectares and is composed of old industrial buildings and working studios. From 2000, Kiefer began constructing a series of elaborate installations and paintings, creating pavilions to house them, while also digging a network of tunnels underneath the pavilions. Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow takes you into Kiefer's artistic estate to discover these sights and more - including an underground pool at the cul-de-sac of a tubular iron tunnel embedded within a crypt, a 20-meter tiered concrete amphitheater, and an open landscape of concrete towers assembled like so many card houses. Traversing this landscape, director Sophie Fiennes' critically acclaimed film immerses the audience in the total world and creative process of one of today's most significant and inventive artists."--Container."
""Le film voyage à travers l'œuvre monumentale d'Anselm Kiefer et s'immerge dans le processus de création alchimique de l'un des artistes les plus signifiants de sa génération. En 1993, Kiefer quitte Buchan en Allemagne pour Barjac dans le sud de la France. Il construit La Ribotte, un atelier-colline comprenant 48 bâtiments qui s'étendent sur plus de 35 hectares comme un village étrange et tentaculaire. Le film déambule dans ce lieu d'accumulation et plonge dans son gigantesque labyrinthe de tunnels, de cryptes souterraines, de ponts et de lacs. Il traverse grottes et forêts pour aboutir sur un large paysage parsemé de tours de béton assemblées comme autant de châteaux de cartes."--[allociné.fr]."
