Dreams that money can buy

"Berlin-born Hans Richter - Dadaist, painter, film theorists and film maker - was for four decades one of the most influential members of the cinematic avant-garde. Richter assembled some of the centurys̕ liveliest artists as co-creators of Dreams that money can buy ... 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 Le?ger, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder and Richter himself. The result is by turns playful, hypnotic, satirical, charming and nightmarish." -- Container.

  • "Fiction. "C'est une œuvre étrange que ce film en six "rêves" (six sketches), vaguement reliés entre eux par un mince argument, témoin d'un certain souci de logique. Cinq artistes prétendent à y matérialiser par le cinéma leur peinture abstraite : Max Ernst, Duchamp, Calder, Man Ray, Fernand Léger ; le seul énoncé de ces noms, et le souvenir des écoles cubiste ou surréaliste auxquelles ils se rattachent, montrent que le public ne pourra pas affronter ce film sans une certaine initiation."--[toutlecine.com]. Avec Jack Bittner, Dorothy Griffith."
