Sueños que el dinero puede comprar (1947)
Pintor abstracto, miembro y teórico del grupo Dada en Zúrich y más tarde próximo a la órbita del surrealismo, la obra cinematográfica de Richter experimenta sobre todo con contrapuntos rítmicos y variaciones formales de secuencias de figuras geométricas y abstractas.Este largometraje cuenta la historia de Joe / Narciso (Jack Bittner), un joven con mala suerte, quien renta una habitación y se pregunta cómo pagará el alquiler. Descubre mirándose al espejo, que puede ver el contenido de su mente creando sueños y pone en marcha un negocio vendiendo éstos a la medida para una serie de frustrados y neuróticos clientes.Los “sueños” que vende a son las creaciones de algunos de los más importantes artistas del siglo XX. El resultado es por momentos divertido, hipnótico, satírico, encantador y pesadillesco.Dreams that money can buy es una película en siete segmentos:
