Featuring Gerhard Richter

Legendary German painter Gerhard Richter granted filmmaker Corinna Belz access to his studio, where he was working on a series of large abstract works. In quiet, highly concentrated images, the film offers a fly-on-the-wall view of the tension-filled process of artistic creation. Richter is his own worst critic before his remarkable creative spirit takes hold, and astonishing compositions emerge.
