The directors framed it as an indictment of slavery; many critics, however, regarded it as one of the most provocative and troubling “shockumentary” works ever made.

The composition is severe, elegant, and deliberately confrontational, with the stark central figure balanced by clean typography and restrained use of white and black.

Even aside from the film’s notoriety, this is a memorable Japanese poster in its own right: stylish, uncompromising, and unmistakably of its period. Japanese posters for controversial imported cult films of this kind are not common, and this particular photographic design is especially desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2090\" data-end=\"2103\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2090\" data-end=\"2103\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2484\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2193\"\u003eExcellent.
