Welcome back to another fantabulous edition of Poster Friday! All of you probably know by now that I usually try to work some sort of theme into these articles, Universal Monsters, Blaxploitation, James Bond, Etc…but today…I couldn’t come up with one. So today is theme-less…unless…that’s my theme…?
Check out these theme-less posters after the jump!
Say what you will about Tyler Perry’s films…but they usually have some neat posters, and I’ve always liked this For Colored Girls poster by Marion B. In an era of overly photoshopped heads, it’s refreshing to see something someone actually used a physical brush to create.
This poster for Funny Games by Akiko Stehrenberger has always fascinated me. It’s just a very simple image yet there’s so much to look at and wonder about, a hallmark of a effective poster.

I still don't know what to make of Abbas Kiarostami's Japanese production, Like Someone in Love. After being very powerfully flummoxed by it in Cannes—part opacity, part deflection—I revisited it at the New York Film Festival and found no questions answered: perhaps as pleasant an experience as the initial bafflement. I still find it fascinatingly opaque—a word I return to again and again in regards to the film—and, I believe, fundamentally unresolvable. Also, it is quite permeable, which for me is a welcome shift when compared to the hermetic-feeling gamesmanship of Certified Copy (something many, like Michael Sicinski, found an incredibly positive aspect).
I had the chance to sit and talk briefly, all too briefly, with Kiarostami in New York, in a delightful conversation beautifully translated by Massoumeh Lahidji.
