"Les Jeunes Loups" (若い狼たち), Original First Release Japanese Movie Poster 1968, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O307

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster issued by Shochiku for the first release of Les Jeunes Loups (The Young Wolves), directed by Marcel Carné in 1968. The French film explores the hedonism, moral ambiguity, and disillusionment of youth in late-1960s Paris—a world caught between sexual freedom and existential emptiness.

Design
An electrifying psychedelic composition surrounds a central underwater embrace. The poster fuses French New Wave sensuality with a distinctly Japanese graphic sensibility: swirling hot-pink and yellow Art Nouveau forms enclose the central blue image, while portraits of the cast emerge from the edges. The stylized typography—both in the English title Les Jeunes Loups and the bold Japanese kanji 若い狼たち—creates a hallucinatory effect that perfectly captures the counter-culture spirit of the era.

Condition
Excellent condition with light horizontal and vertical folds and only minor handling along the borders. Please review the photos; they show the exact poster for sale.
