This time it’s a film poster for the Ritzy’s, my favourite cinema in South London and definitely one of the things that make me cross the river with joy. The cinema is celebrating its centenary this year with a Poster Competition asking to recreate an iconic movie poster in your own style.

I chose Lolita and  the iconic heart shaped sunglasses (that funnily enough don’t actually appear in the film) and instead of showing her with the glasses I showed what she would see through them. The type is a nod to genius Pablo Ferro’s title sequence for Dr Strangelove (also by Kubrick and Peter Sellers).

Sans Soleil

‘Ah well… after all, history only tastes bitter to those who expected it to be sugar coated.’

‘All women have a built-in grain of indestructibility. And men’s task has always been to make them realize it as late as possible. African men are just as good at this task as others. But after a close look at African women I wouldn’t necessarily bet on the men.’

Sans Soleil

This last one comes from one of my favourite scenes in the film.
