“Scarface” (スカーフェイス), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1983, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) D166
This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1983 for the first Japanese release of Scarface, Brian De Palma’s explosive crime epic starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana, with Michelle Pfeiffer and Steven Bauer.
A defining film of 1980s cinema, Scarface charts the violent rise and collapse of an immigrant gangster chasing the American Dream in Miami’s cocaine boom—stylised, excessive, and endlessly influential across film, music, and pop culture.
Poster design
A bold, high-contrast Japanese design built around the iconic stark portrait of Tony Montana against a split black-and-white field, paired with a vertical column of film stills at left that showcase the story’s key moments. The Japanese title スカーフェイス is rendered in powerful black-and-red typography across the centre, with the tagline at the top reading 「彼はアメリカン・ドリームを愛した。復讐と共に…」 (“He loved the American Dream. Along with revenge…”)—a superb, graphic, frame-ready composition.
