After a considerable amount of time, when I left this blog in hiatus, lost in the ineluctables waves of procrastination, I finally anchored in Port Productivity and decided it is time for a new blog post:
Stoker.
This movie is the first effort of director Park Chan-wook in the English language.
Plot wise, it recreates the same vibes of Shadow Of A Doubt, one of my favorite, but at the same time underrated, Hichtcock's movies.
This poster re-creates a dark, intricate, double-edged plot in a perfectly executed graphic art work that blows up all its fine, detailed complexity.
The art work has been rendered by a team of illustrators and entirely drawn simply with pencils and ink.
It is rare nowadays to develop a film poster - a representation of the first glance at a movie even before its first teaser/trailer - deploying talented artists and impactful visual imagery instead of settling for a hasty composition of random screenshots of the movie itself.
To compare and analyze this aspect, please remember The Avengers' one and simply notice how all elements are simply juxtaposed next to each other with no respect for physic-lighting rules where each character receives light from a different source.Compromises for the sake of marketing or deadlines can be done, but for the ones who care it is mandatory to embrace the importance of upgrading from a level of complacency to a superior level that can be truly appreciated.
And since I care about this blog, from now on I will only review movie posters compatible with my excellent taste.
Sorry Avengers!
