Le Mepris 1963 French Grande Film Poster, Georges Allard

Brigitte Bardot, Jean-Luc Godard and a wall of gorgeous French colour. Georges Allard's Grande poster for Le Mépris places Bardot front and centre, framed by rich greens and warm flesh tones, with the typography integrated beautifully into the painting.

Godard's 1963 masterpiece is one of the defining films of the French New Wave, also starring Michel Piccoli and Fritz Lang. The poster is lush where the film can be cool — glamorous, cinematic and very French.

This original poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized approx. 44 1/4 x 62 1/4 (plus a little including the linen-backing). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
