"Rear Window" – The Hitchcock Festival, Original 1984 Japanese Movie Poster, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) E63

This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1983 for “The Hitchcock Festival – Rear Window,” part of CIC/Universal’s revival season that returned Alfred Hitchcock’s classics to Japanese cinemas 29 years after their initial release.

The design pairs Hitchcock’s voyeuristic lens with bold festival branding:

• A full-colour still of James Stewart photographing across the courtyard while Grace Kelly watches tensely behind him.

• Stylised blue festival masthead “THE HITCHCOCK FESTIVAL” and a crimson headline proclaiming, “Shattering 29 years of silence—Hitchcock’s ultimate thriller returns!”

• A silhouetted profile of Hitchcock beneath oversized red kanji for “Rear Window” (裏窓), anchoring the lower tier.

The 1983 re-issues followed the unblocking of five long-withdrawn Hitchcock masterpieces (Rear Window, Vertigo, Rope, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Trouble with Harry), igniting a new wave of appreciation among Japanese cinephiles.

It is over 40 years old!
