Rather than using action or montage imagery, the poster relies on the intense juxtaposition of two faces: the severe profile of Beat Takeshi dominates the right side, while Kyōka Suzuki’s calm, frontal portrait occupies the left. The vast scale of the close-ups, the pale background, and the large black title at the bottom give the sheet a grave, almost monumental quality. It is an exceptionally strong country-of-origin design, perfectly suited to the film’s themes of legacy, violence, family, and emotional repression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1700\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003eCondition\u003cbr data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"1712\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003e Excellent.
