Original Cannon Film Distributors One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Jean-Luc Godard contemporary punk-apocalyptic updating of the Shakespeare classic, KING LEAR (1987) starring Woody Allen, Freddy Buache, Leos Carax, and Julie Delpy. A strange and surreal film that asks the question: what would we do if all the great works of literature were suddenly lost? Godard’s usual Marxist rhetoric, though not entirely absent, is less strident here than in earlier works. But often the film is truly incomprehensible. Critics seem to be either very much impressed or completely bored to death. One critic admits to having watched the film over a 100 times, “and many of those times I feel as if I’m watching it for the first time.” But other critics lament: “Not content merely to bore us, Godard assaults us with shot after shot of crudely filmed, irrelevant imagery, accompanied by unintelligible overlapping speech.” This original one sheet poster, which is clever, is folded and in very fine condition.
