Polish posters: Barbarella

 

Jane Fonda gets top billing even over the title which makes me thing this was made long after the film was. Not sure where she is or why she is pressing that button, or why she has starfish on her nipples. These are questions that might never be answered. 

Polish Posters: Tootsie

 I do like this one! The image is proactive and well done even though it really doesn't reflect the tone of the film very much. The font for the title is a little banal but it stands out because of the hand written text all around it. 

Poster illustration: Mad Love (1935) Staring:Peter Lorre

 

I haven't done a classic monster poster in a while. I think, obscure though this film seems to be these days, it counts as one. The image of Lorre with a the back brace and metal hands has been seen well outside the film it was featured in and the story is based on a book by Victor Hugo.  I think there has been as least 5 movies versions of the story starting with a silent film that influenced the costume in this later film. Unlike other versions, this one has many of Hugos story elements but  also wildly forgets all about other elements and replaces them with some pretty perverted stuff. Lorries fantastic and Colin Clive is great as well. I have read the book in the original French, it's long and I have to say, disappointing. Maybe if I had no seen this film first, my opinion would be different. 

Drawn in Krita and the logo was done in affinity designer. As it often the case with these projects, my image was composed from a mix of publicity photos and film frames plus some influence from the silent version. I am not sure sure that I captured the metal in the hands as well as I would have liked. They were harder than I thought! 

Polish posters: A little bit Kubrick

 

The "Eyes Wide Shut" I get, the "Clockwork Orange" the wolf thing really throws me off! 

Polish poster: Jaws 2

 I mean... it's taking the title pretty literal, non? It is clever in one way but confusing in every other way! 

Polish Posters: The Shining

 I am not sure what the top poster says about the movie... but I like it. You can almost make Jack Nicolson's face behind the abstraction and there is what looks like a still from the movie near his chin.  The bottom one is certainly terrifying, but it's super weird. I bet Shelley Duval is not happy with it. The posters both seem to be showing some sort of psychosis and at least they get across the disturbing elements of the film... of which there are many.

I am, as the casual speakers in the British part of the UK sometimes say, gobsmacked, at the wonderful execution of these posters by Peter Stults. Go visit them and appreciate the all-around cleverness and beautiful execution. You may just cerebrally shit yourself.

Hey, Dudley!

I Heart Hot Dogs

PCL Link Dump buddy and unstoppable force Martin Klasch has led us to a site that has an obsession with screen grabs and posters, many of the Slammerish ilk. I Heart (or Love) Hot Dogs - go or for that matter, gogo. It might be where I got that Postman .gif.
