Plot
In Race Symphony (1928), Richter documents and celebrates a typical day at the German races, where a sophisticated people turn up in droves to gape, gasp, place a bet, and celebrate a well-deserved win.
Sinekatalog’s take
Richter turns a day at the horse races into a rhythmic montage of crowds, bets and cheers. Brisk and visually lively, it's a playful example of avant-garde city-symphony style.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
