Original Japanese B2 Theatrical Poster

Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, A City of Sadness is one of the defining works of Taiwanese cinema. Set in the years following the end of Japanese rule, the film follows one family's story against the backdrop of Taiwan's political transformation. In 1989, it became the first Taiwanese film to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

Design

Printed for the film's original Japanese theatrical release, this striking B2 poster combines bold typography with stills from the film, framed by a vivid red and blue colour palette characteristic of late-1980s Japanese poster design. The oversized title 悲情城市 dominates the composition, while Japanese promotional text celebrates its Golden Lion victory, creating a design that is both graphic and unmistakably cinematic.
