  Leon: The Professional

  £95.00

  “He moves without sound. Kills without emotion. Disappears without trace.“

  Luc Besson’s 1994 dark action thriller “Leon: The Professional” remains one his most celebrated movies. Showing in only a handful of ‘art-house’ cinemas the advertising campaign was very low key and the impressive French Grande affiche that accompanied the limited cinema release is truly scarce. It’s an eye-catching design with incredible artwork by Laurent Lufroy. Originally folded (as issued) it presents in original unrestored condition with only minor handling wear. A very hard to find poster in any condition, which makes this high grade example a real talking piece. Hugely collectable & desirable original film memorabilia from a truly stylish cult classic movie of the 90’s.

  TRIVIA: Luc Besson got the idea of doing this movie while working on his previous movie, Nikita(1990). In that film’s third act, Victor the Cleaner appears to deal with the aftermath of Nikita’s botched mission. Realizing the potential of the character was underused in that movie, Besson decided to create a story that focused on the activities of such a character. Both Victor and Leon appear dressed in a long wool coat, sunglasses and a knit cap. Both are played by Jean Reno. The film’s working title was “The Cleaner”.
