This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1997 for the first domestic theatrical release of Donnie Brasco (フェイク), directed by Mike Newell and released in Japan by TriStar/Sony Pictures.

Film background
Based on the real undercover work of FBI agent Joseph D. Pistone, the film follows “Donnie Brasco” (Depp) as he infiltrates the New York mob and forms a complicated bond with aging hitman Lefty Ruggiero (Pacino). A tense, character-driven portrait of loyalty, deception, and the cost of living a lie, the movie earned widespread critical praise and multiple award nominations.

Poster design
A moody, grain-textured country sheet: Depp dominates the foreground, arm extended with a pistol, while Pacino’s world-weary profile hovers at upper right. Vertical vermilion copy slices down the center, echoing the moral fracture at the heart of the story. The rough-hewn scarlet logotype 「フェイク」 crowns the layout, with a small inset still above; the Brooklyn Bridge fades into the lower right. Credit blocks and the Eirin rating are printed along the base—classic hallmarks of an authentic first-release sheet with strong wall presence.
