Plot

A day at the carnival — sensational tent shows where miracles can be seen for the price of admission, boisterous noise of crowds and barkers, shrill and gaudy circus music, the violence of the street ten-fold. This is the substance of Everything Turns, Richter’s first sound film.

Sinekatalog’s take

A noisy, hectic day at the carnival, with tent shows, barkers and gaudy circus music rendered in an avant-garde sound film. Its energy is almost overwhelming. Worth seeing for fans of early experimental montage.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
