The Girl with the Pre-Fabricated Heart.





The Girl with the Pre-Fabricated Heart

Scene from Dreams That Money Can Buy (1947), directed by Hans Richter.

This is one of my favorite surreal film, I personally think it said something very strong about relationship of fashion,decorative exterior of ourself, one personality, and the way we see ourselves. It somehow give us back message of the way we could be perceived by others as well. 


About the film
Berlin-born Hans Richter - Dadaist, painter, film theorist and filmmaker - was for four decades one of the most influential members of the cinematic avant-garde. Richter assembled some of the century's liveliest artists as co-creators of Dreams That Money Can Buy, his most ambitious attempt to bring the work of the European avant-garde to a wider cinema audience. Among its admirers is film director David Lynch.

Joe, a young man down on his luck, discovers he has the power to create dreams, and sets up a business selling them to others. The 'dreams' he gives to his clients are the creations of Max Ernst, Fernand Lger, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder and Richter himself, and the result is by turns playful, hypnotic, satirical, charming and nightmarish.
