The Sign of Leo 1963 UK Quad Academy Cinema Film Poster, Peter Strausfeld

Rare, stylish and unmistakably original, we love Peter Strausfeld's design that features on this Academy Cinema Quad poster for Eric Rohmer’s The Sign of Leo. Bold, pared-back black and red composition creates a poster that feels both powerful and beautifully hand-crafted, with all the graphic confidence collectors look for in his work.

Issued for London’s celebrated Academy Cinema, this poster also has the added appeal of a very specific cinema history. The Academy was renowned for introducing adventurous international films to British audiences, and the posters commissioned for its screenings have become highly desirable in their own right. Strausfeld played a central role in shaping that visual identity, producing posters that were as memorable as the films themselves.

Rohmer’s The Sign of Leo is an early and important film from one of the defining voices of the French New Wave. Set in Paris, it combines sharp observation with a quietly unfolding sense of tension, and its understated intelligence is perfectly matched by the poster’s striking, no-nonsense design.

This vintage movie poster is sized 30 x 40 inches inches and will be sent rolled (unframed)
