International Poster Tour: BELLE DE JOUR (dir. Luis Buñuel) 1967

so Buñuel’s erotic masterpiece (harvey weinstein’s words, not mine) finally arrives in the Criterion Collection today, and not to spoil my review or anything, but if there’s one 2012 Criterion that you absolutely must own so far this year, it’s this one, and given that it’s almost January 20th, that’s saying quite a bit (sorry, Traffic upgrade for which approximately zero people asked).

unsurprisingly, the myriad posters that Belle de Jour has inspired over the years are both immediately fetching and entirely predictable. it’s only the Polish (natch) who spiced things up a bit, veering away from catherine deneuve’s come hither stare with that inspired abstract design in the bottom right corner of the image tower above. that being said, methinks the Criterion cover art may be the best of the bunch. 

what say you?
