About the Item

This bold and visually arresting 1965 Polish film poster for Alphaville, designed by celebrated artist Andrzej Krajewski, is a superb example of the Polish School of Poster Art—renowned for its expressive symbolism, striking colour palettes, and imaginative departures from conventional film marketing. Krajewski’s powerful composition, dominated by a clenched fist against a radiant burst of colour, captures the film’s themes of rebellion, control, and dystopian tension with unmistakable graphic force. Andrzej Krajewski (born 1947) is one of Poland’s most influential poster designers, known for his vibrant Pop Art-inflected style and bold, simplified forms. His work from the 1960s and ’70s helped define a new visual language in Polish graphic design, combining humour, abstraction, and political undercurrents in ways that continue to resonate with collectors today. Jean-Luc Godard’s 1965 sci-fi noir Alphaville starring Eddie Constantine and Anna Karina is a landmark of the French New Wave. Set in a cold, technocratic future city governed by a supercomputer, the film blends detective fiction with philosophical science fiction, exploring themes of dehumanisation, surveillance, and resistance. Its avant-garde approach and stark visual style made it a favourite of Polish poster artists, who often responded to its conceptual richness with imaginative and symbolic interpretations rather than literal depictions. This original poster is a quintessential piece of mid-20th-century design—dynamic, thought-provoking, and highly collectible. A must-have for enthusiasts of Polish poster art, New Wave cinema, or graphic design history. This vintage movie poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized 22 3/4 x 33 1/4 inches (plus a bit more with the linen-backing). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
