Plot
Inflation (1928) is an experimental silent film at eight minutes which is sometimes categorized as a documentary. By now Richter is well beyond playing with light & shadow.
Sinekatalog’s take
An experimental silent film in which images of money, panic and abstract motion mix at a dizzying pace. It leaves play with light behind for sharper social comment. A short, compelling piece for fans of avant-garde montage.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
