RED LANTERNS

RED LANTERNS

The center of the poster is occupied by a black-and-white photograph of the leading actress, Tzeni Karezi, holding a guitar. Her dreamy glance is very characteristic. Below, the names of the leading actors are listed, in black, capital letters: “Tzeni Karezi, Giorgos Fountas, Dimitris Papamichail”. On the left, on the poster’s top, lays a remark: “Vasilis Georgiadis’ creation for this year. Adapted from the theatrical masterpiece of Alexis Galanos”. Below, a pictorial image of a girl suggestively standing below a lamp-post, holding a cigarette. A little further, a police vehicle with two policemen in it. On the poster’s left, an outlined black-and-white photograph of the two leading actors, Tzeni Karezi-Giorgos Fountas, is inserted. At the upper part of the poster lays the message: “Suggestive! Realistic! Sensational! Duration: 2.30 hours”. Below the photographs, on a yellow background, the title of the film can be read, in red letters: “RED LANTERNS”. Below, in black letters, the rest of the actors are listed: “Mairi Chronopoulou, Katerina Chelmi, Despo Diamantidou, Al. Ladikou and Manos Katrakis. A “Th. Damaskinos-V. Michailidis” S.A. film”. On the bottom right: “I. Priftis & CO TECHNIKI”.
The poster is a balanced composition of the collage technique and pictorial drawing. The title’s red letters are handwritten and a little erratic, compatible with the title: RED LANTERNS.
