“Bitter Moon” (赤い航路), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1992, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P30
This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1992 for the Japanese release of Bitter Moon (赤い航路), Roman Polanski’s provocative psychological drama of obsession, power, and sexual jealousy.
Set largely in the confined, decadent world of an ocean liner, the film follows a young couple drawn into a corrosive relationship with a charismatic, embittered stranger and his wife—an escalating confession that turns seduction into cruelty, and romance into something far darker.
Poster design
A striking, minimalist Japanese design built around an intimate, confrontational still in warm, saturated tones—immediately signalling erotic tension and psychological imbalance. The left-side vertical copy reads 「どんなに歪んでも、愛。」 (“No matter how distorted, love.”), a perfectly chilling tagline that frames the film’s core theme. The lower black field carries the title 赤い航路 in elegant white typography, with small scene stills beneath—clean, premium, and extremely frameable.
