Poster of the Week! The feast continues unabated. Continuing with the literary shenanigans,here's the 1966 French poster of Francois Truffaut's adaption of Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451. It has a lot of faults but I love this movie. Nicholas Roeg's photography, and, above all, Herrmann's music makes it. "Thank you for giving my film a heart," Truffaut supposedly said to Herrmann. Truffaut was no slouch himself. The film's film's final sequence, with the serendipitous falling snow (it wasn't planned; it just snowed that day), the murmurs of the book people reciting their texts, and Herrmann's glorious music, is one of the most beautiful in cinema, a tribute to film and to literature.
Here's a cool looking Italian tribute to the film. Of course, click on the image on the left for a larger image. 798K.
