This is the poster for Joachim Trier’s new movie, which will be premiering at Cannes shortly. I met Trier when he came to Ebertfest in 2013 to screen his haunting and beautiful (and sad) film Oslo August 31st. Wrote some words about it here. Seek it out if you haven’t seen it already. I really like his film-making style, it’s understated and specific. I have really been looking forward to his latest film and this poster for it came across my Twitter feed early this morning and I just had to share it. Because I love cool-looking posters, yesterday was Saul Bass’ birthday (coincidentally), and nice-looking eye-catching innovative movie posters is a nearly-lost art.
Enough with giant floating heads photo-shopped together.
Give us something to look at.
Make us stop in our tracks.
