I was introduced to these brilliant works of art a while back now but wanted to share them with those unfamiliar with Polish film poster artwork. In a nutshell the state-owned nature of the film industry in Poland meant that its poster makers were freed up from the usual constraints – resulting in some outstanding work, far removed from their big budget counterparts.

Just a couple I’ve chosen from a huge collection (from left to right): Harry and the Hendersons, Eyes Wide Shut, The Fly, Weekend at Bernies
