  Flashdance

  £75.00

  “Take your passion… And make it happen!”

  An original 1987, first year of release in Czechoslovakia small one sheet film poster for Adrian Lynne’s “Flashdance”. This beautiful originally rolled example is pretty much faultless. A classic 80s poster featuring some amazing colourful, completely different title style artwork by Zdenek Ziegler. Particularly scarce and sought after in such high grade condition with a real, funky eye-catching design. Often seen as one the THE defining and most loved movies of the 1980s it represents a fantastic piece of original cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Joe Esposito recorded the vocals to the original version of “Flashdance … What A Feeling.” Producer Don Simpson and Adrian Lyne decided that since the lead character was a female, the song needed to be sung by a female. They hired Irene Cara to perform the song at the last minute. She re-wrote the original lyrics while riding in a car to the recording studio the day she recorded the song, and wound up winning an Oscar for her performance.

  Raging Bull

  £60.00

  “…Essential masterpiece; powerful De Niro; simply one of the best films of all time…”

  This is certainly one of the most intense films Scorsese has directed, and one of the most important of his career. It is an iconic motion picture that will stand the test of time for years and years to come. The movie poster that accompanied the Czech release of Martin Scorsese’s Oscar winning Jake La Motta biopic “Raging Bull” was equally as striking. Czech artist Zdenek Ziegler has impressively adapted the close up image of La Motta (De Niro) from the US & British campaigns and added a ‘devilish’ tone to the design. The originally rolled (as issued), unrestored example offered here has minimal handling and displays & presents to excellent effect with deep unfaded colours. Very rare, as it received a very limited release in Czechoslovakia and was only shown in a handful of  ‘art-house’ cinemas. A must have title for the serious collector or fan it represents a fantastic item of good looking collectable movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: The reasons why the film was made in black and white were mainly to differentiate it from Rocky (1976), as well as for period authenticity. Another reason was that Martin Scorsesedidn’t want to depict all that blood in a color picture. Also, in the book, Jake LaMotta says “Now, sometimes, at night, when I think back, I feel like I’m looking at an old black and white movie of myself. Why it should be black and white I don’t know, but it is.”
