Starring: Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Jean Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Raoul Hausmann and others. Dadascope is a comprehensive portrait of the Dada movement with its specific techniques of sound and visual clash, word puns, chess, dice and other games of chance. Richter stated, "There is no story, no psychological implication except such as the onlooker puts into the imagery. But it is not accidental either, more a poetry of images built with and upon associations. In other words the film allows itself the freedom to play upon the scale of film possibilities, freedom for which Dada always stood - and still stands."

一长串不相关的图像，旋转，经常扭曲:灯，花，指甲。一个灯箱不时出现，里面装着当天的新闻。然后,一只眼睛。一名妇女在乡村公路上开车。农场动物。她一遍又一遍地从车上下来。图片:跳舞的腿，海滨，游泳的鱼，几何形状，切割玻璃。一个男人脱下他浆过的衣领。它旋转。一个女孩的眼睛画得很花哨。不,她只是欺骗。那些是她的眼睑。

Robert Desnos 的诗 Two people stand on a road, out of focus. Seen distorted through a glass, they retire upstairs to a bedroom where she undresses. He says, "Adieu." Images: the beautiful girl, a starfish in a jar, city scenes, newspapers, tugboats. More images: starfish, the girl. "How beautiful she is." Repeatedly. He advances up the stair, knife in hand, starfish on the step. Three people stand on a road, out of focus. "How beautiful she was." "How beautiful she is." "Beautiful."
