We've been having a huge discussion about Polish film posters lately, looking at tons of examples, including many of your featured ones.<br /><br />He told us that the reason they often have nothing to do with the actual plot is because the posters were created by artists for underground film houses, often without seeing the film beforehand. They would only have a vague description to work with, a couple of plot points, the title, the actors names - that's all.<br /><br />No wonder they make little sense! I think maybe some of our modern poster designers should try this now, at least we'd get away from the "floating head" phenomenon. ;)<br /><br />I love the one for Brief Encounter! When you've seen the film, it actually does make sense! The text used for the actors names is lovely!NoirGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735968578277695936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-86494588985414335202009-10-15T17:19:29.371+02:002009-10-15T17:19:29.371+02:00DKoren:

That one is my favorite too, and something tells me I will disappointed if I see the film and don't find any gigantic ravens trying to eat the leading man!<br /><br />Don Corleone:<br />Freak show is right! I love them, in a strange hate/love kind of way.<br />I agree with you, I have found a lot of Italian and Japanese posters that are lovely.

I don't catch them at all. Its a freaky show. I don't believe in my eyes. <br />Italian, Japanese and Germany posters with the old American posters are the best.<br />Some Japanese posters are for sure art of work.<br />But its a nice and interest post.

That's what I love about these posters - the total lack of anything reminiscent of the original movie! Okay, in the Brief Encounter poster there is the silhouettes of a couple and a train station, but it doesn't really capture the feeling of the film, right? And Holly Golightly looks like a crack whore.<br /><br />Courtney:<br />"What the funky" is an expression I will have to steal from you! ;)<br /><br />Samuel Wilson:<br />I will have to have that in mind when I search for disturbing posters in the future! And I will tell you if I find it ;) Was the Alain Delon film any good?<br /><br />Christopher:<br />Wow, cool! Seems like Czechoslovakia had their problems, too... Maybe I'll do a follow up on the Polish poster posts with Czech poster posts!<br /><br />Elizabeth:<br />To say the least...

I couldn't make out which movie was being advertised, except that it was French from some of the names listed, but the image was someone's head with a huge mouth opening on the side near the top. Most likely it was some comedy.

One would think <i>Boogie Nights</i> was perhaps a film about the art-deco jazz age. That's what I love about it. It <i>aggressively</i> misses the style of the film, and seems damn proud of it. -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-87905751411390051542009-10-14T20:18:37.618+02:002009-10-14T20:18:37.618+02:00Sort of blending 1950's USSR Commie propaganda...Sort of blending 1950's USSR Commie propaganda art, de Sade and Zap Comics while doing acid.<br /><br />Totally cool!willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
