POLISH MOVIE POSTERS
EASTERN EUROPE TAKES ON CLASSIC FILMS ARE
MINDBLOWING
 
While most movie posters in the
United States pretty much showcase the standard corporate style
imagery to hawk the film, the fine folks in Poland have a brilliant
dramatic license when marketing Hollywood's finest in their country,
resulting in some of the most brilliantly surreal and amazing pieces
of movie artwork ever created. Some of them are obvious, some seem
to be crazy nonsequiters that have nothing to do with the original
picture, while others seem to change the focus of the movie
altogether. Weekend At Bernies now looks more like a horror film,
and Polish poster for The Terror of Mechagodzilla looks as if it was
animated by the folks that made Yellow Submarine. Enjoy this
sampling of their wares, and then visit
POLISHPOSTER.com to see
more, and maybe even buy one. They are all originals with no
reproductions, so be prepared to empty out your polish piggybank.
