Into The Mystics
April 25, 2012Could two movies with similar titles possibly be any more different? I guess there’s a wide gulf between pizza and river — and possibly an even wider gulf between USA and Polish movie posters as seen below from Jan Mlodozeniec. (ImpAwards)
Mondo Movie Posters!
April 18, 2012“It’s sexy time!”, to paraphrase Borat, as we delve into the strange, sensational, hyper-sexualized film genre known as Mondo (not to be confused with the other Mondo gang at Alamo Drafthouse).
Before Reality TV, the creation of Italian mondo cinema in the 1960s gave birth to a weird world of exploitation documentaries that covered many taboo subjects, including sex, death, and pretty much anything else that could either turn you on or creep you out (thank you, Russ Meyer!).
But the one good thing to come out of all this depravity is a remarkably gorgeous portfolio of movie posters, featuring artwork from such mainstream International designers as Manfredo Acerbo and Constantin Belinsky. (Images courtesy of Film Art Gallery and EMP.)
Like this:
Django Bass!
April 16, 2012Quentin Tarantino has gone Saul Bass on our ass (or perhaps it was a combo platter of Rene Ferracci’s Wild Bunch and Thief of Paris that caught his eye) with the new teaser for his upcoming spaghetti western, Django Unchained. (ImpAwards)
Operation Kitchen Sink!
April 10, 2012You gotta love movie posters that give you lots of information about the movie — but is there such a thing as too much information? Here’s some unnamed Italian artists who threw in everything and the kitchen sink in showing off their designs…(EMoviePoster)
Scary Heritage Sale!
March 23, 2012Movie posters are part of our heritage — and nobody displays that better than Heritage’s Dallas Vintage Movie Poster Auction this weekend March 23-24. No doubt there will be some fierce bidding wars over this year’s scary wares!
Meet The Sauvages…
March 22, 2012Here’s some savagely beautiful sauvage (means “wild” in French) things from Boris Grinsson (top), Constantin Belinsky (The Wild One and bottom, middle), Roger Soubie (Hud, middle right), and Clement Hurel (bottom right)!
Jano vs. Nano
March 13, 2012In boxing, they say styles make fights. Well, you could say the same thing about movie posters (although most movie poster fans are lovers not fighters.)
But if there were a brawl to break out among two International movie poster artists — Italian stallion, Silvano (“Nano”) Campeggi, and Spanish designer, Jano (Francisco Fernández Zarza), would be an excellent battle. (MoviePosterDB)
