This is awesome. From the Polish movie poster FPP at MeFi. Though, it's not 200 bucks awesome. Sigh...
It's Polish poster for a Czech film, but I had this one in my bedroom growing up. (My folks had lived a few years in Warsaw, and came back with a dozen or so movie and circus posters) Also, "koniec" is one of the few Polish words I know--it means "the end" and my folks used to use it when I was little and misbehaving :)
Well, I'm not broke, but 200 bucks is more than what I'd want to pay for something like that. I'd rather put the money towards a nice camera, and 200 bucks is about 2/3 of what I'd expect to pay for a Voigtlander Superb with a Heliar lens. (I have one with the Skopar (similar to this one but not as nice), but I'd love to have the Heliar).
Yes, stilicho, I agree regarding the rarity of the poster. But, I also think that while it might not be "art", as a graphic design it's quite good. Plus it's an interesting take on the original movie.
