This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster produced for the first Japanese cinema release of Go! Go! L.A. (L.A.ガイドマップ／恋愛編), directed by Mika Kaurismäki. This title opened theatrically in Japan on 26 February 2000.
Starring Vincent Gallo and Julie Delpy, the film is an offbeat, fish-out-of-water romantic comedy that drops an English outsider into a dream (and nightmare) version of Los Angeles—skewering showbiz ambition and city mythology with a distinctly deadpan European sensibility. The Japanese release was handled by PARCO + Xanadeux, as noted on the poster.
Poster design
A bold, ultra-graphic late-90s/early-2000s Japanese design dominated by a vivid orange field and chunky, high-impact typography (“Go! Go! L.A.”), topped with a sunlit convertible scene set against the downtown L.A. skyline. The Japanese subtitle L.A.ガイドマップ／恋愛編 (“L.A. Guide Map / Romance Edition”) adds a playful, magazine-like framing—making this an exceptionally frameable, design-forward piece.
It is over 25 years old!
