“APOCALYPSE NOW” (1979) – ORIGINAL JAPANESE B0 BILLBOARD POSTER – ART BY EIKO ISHIOKA Extremely Rare | Massive Format | First Release | 120 × 145 cm
This is an original, first-release Japanese B0 billboard poster from 1979 for Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece Apocalypse Now — a true grail item for collectors.
Printed in massive B0 size (120 × 145 cm), this billboard-format poster was never intended for public sale and is exceptionally rare, especially in pristine, rolled condition like this. The artwork, by the iconic Japanese designer Eiko Ishioka, is entirely unique to the Japanese release and is widely praised for its hallucinatory, avant-garde style — a perfect match for the film’s descent into madness.
Apocalypse Now is a towering cinematic achievement, inspired by Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, and stars Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, and Harrison Ford. It won two Academy Awards (Best Cinematography and Best Sound) and remains one of the most critically acclaimed films of all time — regularly cited in Sight & Sound and Directors’ Polls as among the greatest ever made.
This poster is more than a collectible — it’s a rare piece of cinematic history and a monumental visual statement, perfect for framing in a gallery, office, or private collection.
