  From Dusk Till Dawn

  £295.00

  “One night is all that stands between them and freedom. But it’s going to be a hell of a night.”

  A personal favourite movie and alternative movie poster by Rich Davies. Robert Rodriguez’ “From Dusk till Dawn” combines vicious violence, Cheech Marin vampires, and some funny dark humour from the cast into one big collective film. More than a basic horror movie, it shows Rodriquez as a fine director and Quentin Tarantino as a tight screenwriter who bring to the screen shoot em up vampire fun for the Pulp Fiction/Evil Dead devotees. A fantastic interpretation by Rich Davies for this grindhouse, horror-heist collaboration that perfectly captures the feel, look and attitude of the movie. Visual impact and artistic design are key aspects of any Tarantino/Rodriguez production and this beautiful example perfectly illustrates that fact, as a super-sexy Santanico Pandemonium (Salma Hayek) dominates the imagery. Absolutely stunning, the photograph really doesn’t do this example justice – being a giclee print (see below) the vibrant colours pop from the paper as this 2023 hand-numbered (#14/250) art print displays and presents to excellent effect and represents an amazing piece of cult cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Originally, Quentin Tarantino pitched this to John Travolta the same time as he was preparing to film Pulp Fiction (1994). Travolta was not interested in working on a vampire movie, and wanted to work on Pulp Fiction instead.

  What is Giclee ?

  Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.

  The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.

  Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

  The Godfather

  £225.00

  “If by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.”

  Francis Ford Coppola’s multi Oscar winning masterpiece “The Godfather” is THE GREATEST FILM EVER MADE. Re-released in 2022 for its 5oth Anniversary, renowned artist Paul Shipper was commissioned to create a new poster for the event. Shipper’s artwork is superb with an incredible cast montage poster, with as you would expect Brando & Pacino taking centre stage. This British one-sheet displays to excellent effect and is an outstanding movie poster for a film, that is a phenomenon. An exquisite Mafia epic with outstanding performances, Coppola got everything right, creating a cinematic event with an immeasurable influence on everyday culture and life.

  Trivia: The smack that Vito gives Johnny Fontane was not in the script. Marlon Brando improvised the smack and Al Martino‘s confused reaction was real. According to James Caan, “Martino didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”
