polish film posters

I don't know if there is a legal/copyright history behind this, or just different cultural/aesthetic sensibilities at work, but communist-era Polish posters for American films are absolutely amazing.

works or art?
sure.

but do they convey a sense of the film that makes you want to walk in the door and buy a ticket?
no.

its seems almost a bad polish joke:
propaganda posters that dont propagandize.

I think you are merely explaining why posters don't look like that in the US...

Gino said...

yup!

and why, maybe, polish fims dont have a market here.
