“Kings of the Road” (さすらい), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1976, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA813
This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued in Japan for the theatrical release of Kings of the Road (Im Lauf der Zeit, 1976), Wim Wenders’ landmark German road film—one of the essential works of the New German Cinema. Shot in luminous black-and-white and built around drifting conversations, quiet observation, and the physical reality of travel, the film follows two men moving along the inner border of West/East Germany, repairing cinema projectors and slowly dismantling their own emotional baggage. A cornerstone title for collectors of European art cinema and 1970s film culture.
Poster design
A beautifully restrained, design-forward Japanese layout that mirrors the film’s pace and mood. The top features an intimate monochrome still of the two leads in a moment of exhausted calm, while the lower half opens out into the road itself—an almost abstract stretch of highway with a lone truck, wet tarmac, and distant horizon. The large blue Japanese title 「さすらい」 sits cleanly in the centre with the original German title Im Lauf der Zeit beneath, giving the sheet an elegant bilingual presence. Minimal, modern, and exceptionally frame-friendly—this is a perfect poster for a serious cinema wall.
