Trot Trot

About This Movie

So, ‘Trot Trot’ is an interesting piece. It's got this unique approach, blending Dadaist vibes with New Objectivity, which you don’t see every day. The lack of narration and traditional imagery creates this almost meditative atmosphere, focusing purely on the racecourse itself. It’s all about the rhythm and the visual language, really. You get swept up in the precision of it. Schleiermacher, coming from a typographic background, brings a certain elegance to the film’s pacing. It's not your typical documentary—you feel the weight of the unspoken, the nuances of the race without the usual commentary. Definitely distinctive in its execution, and it leaves you pondering long after it’s done.

‘Trot Trot’ is a bit of a gem in the documentary world, especially for those interested in experimental cinema. Not much in terms of standard releases—mainly obscure formats and limited prints, which can make it a challenge to track down. Collector interest seems to be rising as more people stumble upon its unique style, so if you find a copy, it’s worth holding onto. The film’s unconventional nature and philosophical undertones make it stand out, appealing to those who appreciate the art of filmmaking beyond traditional narratives.
