Everything Turns, Everything Revolves
Running 3m and made in Germany, Everything Turns, Everything Revolves (1929) is a film in the 123movies catalog. Hans Richter directs. 21 votes put it at 5.9/10. 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. At its premier at Baden-Baden Richter got into a fight with two Nazi officials who disliked the film's ‘modernism.’ Yet in 1936 it was awarded first prize for artistic merit by the Nazis, with Richter’s name suppressed from the credits. He had long since left Germany.
