8PM: DOCUMENTARY - OVER YOUR CITIES GRASS WILL GROW (2010, 115 min) is a portrait of the artist at work, though one that says as much about its British director, Sophie Fiennes, as about its stated subject, the German-born artist Anselm Kiefer. In 1993 Mr. Kiefer, perhaps the most celebrated and divisive artist of his generation — born in 1945 shortly before the end of World War II — moved to a swath of land outside Barjac, a town in the South of France. He and his assistants then began creating installations on the property that, at least to judge from this movie, are a monument to the human will to self-annihilation and a rehearsal for the apocalypse.
