Description
One of the few "modern" posters to make the Collection. Not only was this an intriguing film, blessed with some superlative acting (Kevin Spacey deservedly picking up the Oscar for "Best Supporting Actor") but for a photographic poster design, this works extremely well. The bunch of misfits assembled for a police line-up shot forms the basis of the poster. The design introduces us to all the key characters & sets the scene for a crime drama, the header, "Five Criminals. One Line up. No Coincidence", provoking interest in the viewer. In design terms the poster perhaps pays homage to "Quadrophenia". The poster has been cleaned, de-acidified & linen-backed.
