Original Costa-Gavras Movie Posters

Shop our Costa-Gavras movie posters for original campaign materials from one of political cinema's most important directors. Born Konstantinos Gavras in Greece, Costa-Gavras defined the political thriller with Z (1969) — Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film and winner of the Cannes Jury Prize — then continued with The Confession (1970), State of Siege (1972), and Missing (1982, Palme d'Or), with Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek. His films translated urgent political realities into gripping popular cinema with unmatched conviction. Original French theatrical materials for Z and The Confession are the cornerstone collector items — produced by the specialist Paris lithography houses during the peak of Costa-Gavras's collaboration with producer Jacques Perrin and screenwriter Jorge Semprún. French grandes and petites from the initial releases carry the graphic urgency that matched the films' political intensity and are genuine period documents. US one-sheets from the Cinema 5 and Universal releases document the American theatrical campaigns across his career. For Missing, the Universal campaign materials featuring Lemmon and Spacek are among the most compelling American political thriller posters of the 1980s. International materials from Italy, Greece, and Latin America reflect the films' particularly strong reception in politically engaged markets worldwide.
