Trab Trab, Trot Trot (1959) dir. Detten Schleiermacher

Detten Schleiermacher did not start making films until late in life. He was actually a typographer. With Trab Trab he made an impish attempt to create a synthesis between Dadaism and New Objectivity. The film is a precise and elegant account of a racecourse. It does so without narration or images of either horses or patrons; everything we see has been captured either pre or postrace.
