Wasabi
Directed by Gérard Krawczyk
2002

Not sure who designed this Italian/Japanese poster but this is what’s up. There’s another version which has some stills from the movie on the bottom of the poster, which is cool too, but the minimal approach on this one works so much better. Granted, this movie isn’t as artsy as this poster makes it out to be though. It’s really like a more slapstick version of Leon: The Professional, but set in Japan, and with a wacky hipster teen in place of Natalie Portman. So maybe this poster kind of fails in that respect, but as far as pure aesthetics go, this just looks really good. Plus they even designed a little logo silhouette thing to go inside the “A”. Details, people.
