“Zardoz” (ザルドス), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1974, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) N105
This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster issued for the first Japanese release of Zardoz, which opened in Japan on 10 August 1974.
Film background
Directed by John Boorman and starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling, Zardoz is a singular, hallucinatory piece of 1970s science-fiction—set in a future where an immortal ruling class (“Eternals”) lives apart from the mortal “Brutals,” and a violent outsider infiltrates their sealed world to uncover the machinery of control behind it.
Poster design
A striking, cosmic montage that leans into the film’s surrealism: a star-strewn void, a monumental stone-like face and hand, and a tiny, armed figure poised against the vastness—part myth, part dystopian fever-dream. The bold Japanese typography and deep-space palette make this a quintessentially dramatic, high-impact example of 1970s Japanese SF marketing.
