Começou Cannes: the 64 festival posters
First of all, I have to say that the poster for this year’s festival may be my favorite of them all. The festival has used beautiful black and white photographs of actresses before (Monica Vitti in 2009, Marlene Dietrich in 1992) but those posters have often been let down by their uninspired typography and layout. But this year’s poster, which uses a Jerry Schatzberg photograph of Faye Dunaway at her most gorgeous (a restored print of their wonderful 1970 film Puzzle of a Downfall Child is playing in Cannes) has almost perfect type. The ultra thin “64” especially—with its parallel diagonals framing her face, and the sharp corner of the 4 echoing her bent legs, which themselves are centered in and extending from the circled bowl of the 6—is as elegant as Dunaway herself.
