Dear Friends & Movie Lovers:
Every month we try to curate an interesting mix of posters from around the world - popular favorites, cult classics, examples of great poster design, rare treasures and some that are just plain fun. Finding and sharing great movie paper is the best part of the job, and it's especially gratifying with a lineup like the group we have this month. Take, for example, the header image above - an Italian photobusta poster for the original release of Godard's BREATHLESS. When I think about the film, this is the scene that first comes to mind - yet I had never seen an original release poster featuring the image. That is, until last month when I came across this poster. Godard's budget was minuscule, but BREATHLESS has style to burn, and these Italian posters look like a million bucks: practically perfect combinations of image, layout, font, color.
We also have another "unicorn" - a huge British poster of Roger Moore in his first Bond film, LIVE AND LET DIE - along with rarities such as Japanese posters for THE INSECT WOMAN & BELLADONNA (28"x40") and a unique set of Belgian posters for YELLOW SUBMARINE.
