Hans Richter

Hans Richter. Dreams that money can buy 1947

Dreams that money can buy is an American experimental film written, produced and directed by surrealist artist and filmmaker Hans Richter, released in 1947.
Several artists contributed to this film: Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Alexander Calder, Darius Milhaud and Fernand Léger. The film won the award for most original contribution to the progress of cinematography at the Venice International Film Festival in 1947.

Joe/Narcissus (Jack Bittner) is an ordinary man who has just signed a contract to rent a room. As he wonders how he is going to pay the rent, he realizes that he can see the contents of his own brain unfolding by staring into his eyes in a mirror. He then realizes that he can apply this gift to others and creates a company where he will sell his clients (frustrated and neurotic of all kinds) tailor-made dreams based on what he was able to discover about their minds. The waiting room is crowded from the first day of its activity.

Each of the film’s seven dream sequences is actually the creation of an avant-garde artist
