This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster for The Departed (ディパーテッド), Martin Scorsese’s razor-sharp Boston crime epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Mark Wahlberg—a modern classic of undercover paranoia, double lives, and moral collapse.
Released in 2006, The Departed reimagines the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs through Scorsese’s distinctly American lens: police and organised crime mirroring each other, each side running a mole, and both men trapped by the identities they’ve built. It’s a landmark late-career statement from Scorsese—propulsive, brutal, and brilliantly engineered.
A bold, high-impact Japanese design built around three towering faces—DiCaprio, Nicholson, and Damon—split by a cold vertical band that reads like a fault line running through the story. The restrained palette and stark typography make it feel contemporary and tense, while the Japanese tagline (男は、死ぬまで正体を明かせない。) leans into the film’s central idea: you live the lie until it destroys you. The printed Japanese release date at the bottom right (2007.1.20) anchors it firmly as a true cinema-use theatrical piece.
