nclrmrz: Designed by Michael Boland (creator of many fine Criterion covers) for Pierre Thoretton’s documentary about Yves Saint-Laurent and his long-time partner Pierre Bergé, this poster forgoes fashion, and YSL’s creations, for the elegant simplicity of a portrait photograph and some rather lovely hand-lettering. Simple, yes, but one only has to look at the original French poster to see how Boland dramatically improved it both graphically and thematically for the US release (though Bergé himself may not agree). Coincidentally, the famous YSL logo was designed by A.M. Cassandre, 30 years after Dubonnet (see above). (via The Best Movie Posters of 2011 on Notebook | MUBI) The hand type.
