The American Poster of the Week at Mubi

We at FilmInFocus are big fans of Mubi (the website formerly known as The Auteurs), so it's very cool that they have chosen newly released art for The American as their Poster of the Week.

Writing about the retro stylings of the poster for Anton Corbijn's forthcoming movie, Adrian Curry says the following:

The dynamic new poster for Anton Corbijn’s The American is a clever pastiche of mid 60s action movie posters that trumpets its hipness (would we expect anything less from the director of Control?). With its two-color printing, its greyscale photographs, its monochrome rectangle of color and its billing block within a white frame, it could be a lost object from that era.

And then, following Curry's breakdown of the posters of the late 60s that were inspirational, there's a great gallery of the one sheets mentioned.
