French Movie poster authentic
« on: March 18, 2023, 08:15:44 AM »
I collect mainly art posters of David Hockney and have some of "his" movie posters too. I recently purchased this poster:
https://www.ebay.ch/itm/234878493586
It is sold by a seller specialized on french movie posters with about 6000 posters in stock. So I guess this might be a trustworthy source.
I have received the poster which is a digital print of the poorest quality.
All of the very few movie posters I have have a crisp, clean print.
So my question is if
- In 2019 "original" movie posters are printed in a very poor, blurry quality?
- Is it possible that a large ebay shop like this one sells stuff printed on demand?
Thank you for your help
Dani

Yes, authentic, but a 2019 re-release from a small distributor which didn't spend a lot of money on printing posters for a movie with very limited appeal.

Have no fear.  Totally legit.

As EatBrie said, this is the poster of the 2019 rerelease, a special release for the 4k remastered.
Legit, just poor printing.

The original French 1p from 2015 is different - https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/13915966.html - and available here (120x160) for 16 euro - http://www.affiche-cine.com/fiche-produit.php?id=22443

Crucifixion? Good. Out of the door, line on the left, one cross each.

That poster is not from the same film, although it shares the same title.

Btw, I like that you put a capital B at Brie.  It's very respectful!   notworthy.gif
