“Small Change” (トリュフォーの思春期), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1976, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O794

This is an original Japanese B2 movie poster printed in 1976 for the first Japanese theatrical release of Small Change (トリュフォーの思春期 / L’Argent de poche), a France coming-of-age film directed by François Truffaut, starring Nicole Félix, Chantal Mercier, and Philippe Goldmann (with an ensemble of child actors).

Film background
Released in 1976, Small Change is one of Truffaut’s warmest films—an affectionate, observant portrait of childhood in a small French town, built from everyday incidents rather than a single plotline. By moving between humour, tenderness, and moments of real cruelty or vulnerability, Truffaut captures childhood as its own complete world—messy, resilient, and intensely human—making the film a beloved late work in his filmography.

Poster design
A beautifully simple, human-scale Japanese B2 built around a single, crowded image: a sea of children’s faces filling the frame, each looking in a different direction, creating a living “map” of youth. The layout is anchored by a green title band at the base with the brush-style Japanese title 「思春期」 and the credit 「トリュフォーの」, while the yellow circular seal references Un film de François Truffaut / L’ARGENT DE POCHE. The small Japanese copy above the band reads like a manifesto—not adults, not little kids; this is “le mon âge”—perfectly matching the film’s tender, observational tone. An understated, highly displayable Truffaut B2.
