Dolls
Directed by Takeshi Kitano
2002
This movie was kind of like Takeshi Kitano doing his own artsy Wong Kar-Wai style romance film. The cinematography is amazing and sadly it’s sort of overshadowed by Hero (which came out the same year) or “Beat” Takeshi’s more gangster yakuza films. But what the hell, we’re talking about the poster though right? The type is really nice with the whole calligraphy Japanese brushstroke style, and the use of red fits with the cinematography and overall love theme. Although I wouldn’t be opposed to it if they just used this photo of the other Japanese actress instead. Just sayin.

Adaptation Japanese poster
Directed by Spike Jonze

Face it, there’s just going to be a lot of Japanese posters on this list. Their poster game has been pretty next level since like, Seven Samurai, and it pretty much still is. This version, isn’t really TOO different from the original, just a slightly tweaked version of the one designed by movie poster company Bemis Balkind. Only they turned the flower pot right side up and added some neat little kanji coming out of the flower. Also the pink title and green text is a pretty stylish move that I’m sure Spike Jonze would approve of.
Son de mar / Sound of the Sea Japanese poster

Haven’t seen this. Don’t know what it’s about. But the colors, composition, layout, and image are all spot on. Plus girls wearing panties are a sure way to grab people’s attention. Sexual innuendo by way of eating fruit? Even better.

Even Japanese Christmas is way funner because they get to wear little wizard hats.

I wish I was a Japanese cartoon. They have way more fun than everyone else.
