This list of (mainly vintage) Polish movie posters caught my eye t'day...
50 Incredible Film Posters From Poland
Thought y'all might like.
Interesting that posters weren't censored during Communist times, so there's allegedly some politically commentary going on in some of these - or at very least some freewheeling freedom of expression.
They're definitely.... different . Lot's of watching eyes, brooding tones and angles, barely suppressed anger, curious flights of fancy, and Bruce Lee sorta wearing lipstick. (Well, i may have been influenced by having just read Adi's homo-haranguings of 'Prestige's Brokeback review on that one . But I guess homosexuality mighta been suppressed during those days - and this'd be another theme that might turn up on the posters.)
Anyways, plenty more links to Polish Western posters and more modern fare on the page. Y'enjoy now.
