Movie Poster > 1960

Lolita (1962),
no designer listed.
  • Nothing about this poster is specifically or overtly sexual in nature, but the various elements in it fall out of unity, which only emphasize them to a greater extent. This emphasis (the hidden eyes, the bright red lips on a deep red lolli, the simple font that becomes strictly adult only for the young girl's name) give the entire poster an incredibly suggestive, slightly uncomfortable appeal.
