    Friday Onesheet: Polish Tarantino

    0

    While the Polish-style of making movie posters is legendary for its surreal, often non-sequitur, weirdness, this is not always the case. As with this wonderfully minimalist one sheet for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. An abridged version of the credit block makes up the Hanzo sword on the yellow background reminiscent of The Bride’s homage to Bruce Lee at the end of Kill Bill Part 1.

    This is a store that sells all kinds of polish posters here if you are interested in browsing where you will see that the countries particular brand of key art creation is not simply based on strange, there is lots of interesting and accessible stuff in there to balance out the crazy.

    Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs one-sheets are tucked under the seat.

    Friday One Sheet: A Relationship in Flames

    I cannot wait to finally check out this so-called Mumblecore Mad Max upon which the Mamo Matts minister mammoth commendation (check out their Actionfest Episode). For now, muscle cars, flame throwers and ‘floaty heads’ that actually seem to make sense in the context of the film. The poster for Bellflower is a winner (see also, the more than swell trailer)

    New Alexander Payne! New Alexander Payne! And this basic-photo-with-warming-filter design is pretty swell.

    Bonus – Trailer is tucked under the Seat.

    Friday One Sheet: Super 8 (and Close Encounters)

    1

     
     

    The Japanese poster for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Super 8 certainly evokes the classic one sheet for Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and I’m sure that is not accidental, because this is exactly the type of film for which Super 8 is nostalgic.

    Friday One Sheet: Boutique Romero

    0

     
     

    The boutique poster market has been growing in leaps and bounds. Kicked off by Tyler Stout et al. and the Alamo Drafthouse, this little niche has been spreading steadily for years. There are several great designers right here in Toronto, including Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative who did all those lovely one-sheets for Twitch’s Back to the 80s series. This one, for George Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead, is $25, and golly, I’m tempted to buy it.

    Friday One Sheet: The Tree of Life

    The best way to use movie stills in a poster to date. I’m digging this very busy-by-design poster.

    Friday One Sheet: Trust

    Sometimes, simplicity is the best thing in marketing. Black and white with a little well-placed red (which not only colour the roses, but give them the appearance of actually bleeding) give the gist of this tale, an internet relationship gone bad. I am not sure about David Schwimmer as a director, but he has a good publicity team on this one. Either way, I have not tired of ‘online terminal’ styled fonts yet, so nothing really to complain about here. Oh, and that is oneheckuva good cast.

    Friday One Sheet: Hanna

    Yes, this is my guilty pleasure of 2011, a heady mixture of Kick-Ass’s Hit Girl and Angelina Jolie’s Salt, although the poster might have you believe it is a radical version of Robin Hood. The one sheet makes stunning use of Saoirse Ronan’s eyes.

    Friday One Sheet: Septien

    0

     
     

    A reclusive sports hustler returns home to his family farm after years of absence to reunite with his two eccentric, unhinged and emotionally damaged brothers. And since this Sundance entry is a bit of an emotional mystery with one of characters having a thing for puzzles, it all makes for a wonderful motif on a poster. (UPDATE: Low and behold, there is a trailer that just popped up here.)

    Bonus casting: Harmony Korine’s wife is apparently in this.

    Friday One Sheet: Rubber

    Very classy and very nice. Except for that Tagline, ugh. Nevertheless, the featured tire on an angle with an eye does a nice (if maybe a tad obvious) job of underscoring both the ‘psychic’ nature of the the radial, but more importantly, the ‘watching,’ as the film (Kurt’s Review) is very much about how and why we watch these sorts of high-concept B-films. I’d love to see this hanging in the lobby of my local multiplex, if only to see the perplexed looks on the regular cinema-goers (the same perplexed looks the film is probably going to get from many viewers.)

    Friday One Sheet: BLACK DEATH

    3

    The film is certainly watchable (John’s Review), an enjoyable genre romp if you will, but this One Sheet grabbed my eye for its lurid, pulpy feel (something more or less replicated in the movie.) It looks like like a photo-real-styled Conan book-cover, but the the single word “Repent” indicates that there are religious overtones in the film, which there are. Kudos, Magnet for conveying information and tone and still delivering a pretty poster.

    Friday One Sheet: Crack’d Swan

    1

    I think this poster captures the spirit of Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (which is expanding out to many more cities this weekend, our review is here.) An air-brushed to perfection Natalie Portman with a huge crack splintering the side of her face. The broken porcelain design was also used for Sean Ellis’ The Broken, but here, it seems a worthy stealing of the concept, because the striving for perfection and the cracks and fissures that form along the way is really part and parcel for the film.
