Blow-Up (1966) Poster, Japanese, Alternative pink lettering style. First Japanese release 1967


Unframed: 29 x 20 in. (74 x 51 cm)


There were two Japanese versions of this poster printed. Both feature the same artwork, but his one, the rarer of the two, has the English title of the film in bold pink typography. Whereas on the other style the English title is not prominent, and features in smaller print on the left-hand side of the poster.


This rare style Japanese poster does not surface very often.


This cult classic was directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, and is about a fashion photographer, played by David Hemmings, who captures a murder on film whilst taking photos in a deserted park. The film also stars Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, John Castl and Jane Birkin.
