Quote:
Berlin-born Hans Richter – Dadaist, painter, film theorist and filmmaker – was for four decades one of the most influential members of the cinematic avant-garde. Richter assembled some of the century’s liveliest artists as co-creators of Dreams That Money Can Buy, his most ambitious attempt to bring the work of the European avant-garde to a wider cinema audience. Among its admirers is film director David Lynch.

Joe, a young man down on his luck, discovers he has the power to create dreams, and sets up a business selling them to others. The ‘dreams’ he gives to his clients are the creations of Max Ernst, Fernand Léger, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder and Richter himself, and the result is by turns playful, hypnotic, satirical, charming and nightmarish. Dreams That Money Can Buy is a film in seven segments namely:

Desire (Director, Writer – Max Ernst)
The Girl with the Prefabricated Heart (Director, Writer – Fernand Léger)
Ruth, Roses and Revolvers (Director, Writer – Man Ray)
Discs (Director, Writer – Marcel Duchamp)
Ballet (Director, Writer – Alexander Calder)
Circus (Director, Writer – Alexander Calder)
Narcissus (Director, Writer – Hans Richter)

Dadascope is a comprehensive portrait of the Dada movement with its specific techniques of sound and visual clash, word puns, chess, dice and other games of chance. Richter stated, “There is no story, no psychological implication except such as the onlooker puts into the imagery. But it is not accidental either, more a poetry of images built with and upon associations. In other words the film allows itself the freedom to play upon the scale of film possibilities, freedom for which Dada always stood – and still stands.”

Hans Richter (1888-1976), painter, graphic artist, filmmaker, and producer was one of the founders of the Dada movement. Richter opposed traditional approaches to art. His avant-garde style to filmmaking and art paved the way for many artists to come.

Poems in German, French and English, written and performed by well-known Dada artists: Jean Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Raoul Hausmann, Richard Huelsenbeck, Marcel Janco, Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes, Walter Mehring, Kurt Schwitters, Tristan Tzara and Wladimir Vogel. Poems were recited against a backdrop of “sound and visual clash, word puns, chess, dice and other games of chance.” According to Richter, “To these poems I made a film collage. To these Anti-poems, I have made an Anti-film. There is no story, no psychological implication except such as the onlooker puts into the imagery.”
