Set against the languid heat of the French Riviera, the film is an exercise in cool erotic tension and slow-burn menace—now widely regarded as one of the most stylish European thrillers of its era and a cult fashion-cinema touchstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"1656\"\u003ePoster design\u003cbr data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"645\"\u003eA breathtaking, design-forward Japanese campaign built around pure 1960s glamour.

The typography is equally striking: the Japanese title \u003cstrong data-start=\"1232\" data-end=\"1246\"\u003e「太陽が知っている」\u003c\/strong\u003e (“The Sun Knows”) appears in bold, expressive pink calligraphy across the lower field, contrasted by clean supporting credits and a small inset vignette of the lovers at bottom left. It’s a superbly balanced sheet—minimal, seductive, and unmistakably late-’60s—making it an exceptional display poster for collectors of Delon\/Schneider, French New Wave-adjacent cinema, and design-led international one-sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1658\" data-end=\"1753\"\u003eCondition\u003cbr data-start=\"1667\" data-end=\"1670\"\u003eExcellent overall.
