Blow up 1967 Japanese B2 Film Poster

This original 1967 Japanese B2 poster for Blow-Up is a superb piece of late-1960s cinema design, with its cool colour palette, striking typography and provocative central image giving it immediate visual impact. Stylish and unmistakably of its moment, it perfectly reflects the modern, fashion-conscious world of the film. Lovely colours.

Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, Blow-Up is one of the defining films of the decade. Set in swinging London and starring David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave, it blends mystery, style and psychological tension in a way that made it an instant landmark of art-house cinema. Its influence on film, fashion and photography remains enormous.

Japanese posters from this period are especially prized for their bold layouts and distinctive balance of image and text, and this example is no exception. Combining international glamour with a uniquely Japanese graphic sensibility, it is both a memorable film poster and a standout display piece. An exceptionally rare, first-year-of-release poster for this classic film.

This vintage movie poster has been professionally linen-backed. It is sized 20 x 28 3/4 inches (plus a little more with the linen) and will be sent rolled.
