Inflation
Watch TrailerInflation (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. Inflation explores the subject of money through photographs & with with stop motion animation techniques, adding faces of people impoverished & enriched by the unpredictability of finance.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Richter constructs the film as a kinetic collage, relying on the contrast between still photographs and frantic stop-motion. He explores the social anatomy of inflation through the faces of its victims and beneficiaries, using montage as a tool of sharp political satire.
What lingers after viewing is the hypnotic power of this visual polemic, which feels eerily contemporary in its depiction of financial frenzy. A silent scream that needs no intertitles. — MovieFinder Editorial
