“Yegor Bulychyov and Others” (エゴール・ブリチョーフ / Egor Bulychov and Others), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1971, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P141

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1971 for the Japanese release of the Soviet drama Yegor Bulychyov and Others (Egor Bulychov and Others), directed by Sergei Solovyov and based on the play by Maxim Gorky. Starring Mikhail Ulyanov with Maya Bulgakova, it is a serious, psychologically driven work of Soviet cinema—rooted in theatre, class tension, and moral collapse on the eve of historic change.

Film background
Based on Gorky’s play, the story centres on Yegor Bulychyov, a powerful industrialist facing illness and the disintegration of his authority, as the world around him shifts toward revolution. The film draws its power from performance and atmosphere—using domestic conflict, social hypocrisy, and existential dread to reflect the end of an era. Solovyov’s adaptation is notable for its intensity and for the weight carried by Ulyanov’s central role.

Poster design
A striking, modern Japanese design that foregrounds psychology over spectacle. A huge, close-cropped portrait of the lead dominates the lower half—stern, exhausted, and inward-looking—while the background becomes a collage of theatrical imagery: figures suspended in an industrial / stage-like space, stark interior scenes, and symbolic circular forms that suggest surveillance, fate, or machinery. The title typography is particularly effective—エゴール・ブリチョーフ rendered in bold blue and red—giving the sheet a clean, graphic punch against the sepia-brown tonal field. It’s a superb example of early-’70s Japanese poster aesthetics applied to serious international cinema.
