Film posters of the 60s

Meer over het boek

The cinema of the 60s reflected the mood of a decade when everything - art, fashion, politics, philosophy - seemed to be in flux, and the film posters of the period provide a kaleidoscope of images that capture the very essence of a turbulent decade. From french 'new wave' to british 'kitchen sink', from Sergio Leone to Andy Warhol, from Bond to Barbarella, the cinematic ethos and icons of the 60s are all represented here as they were first perceived by audiences in London and Los Angeles, Tokyo, Turin, Berlin and Bangkok.
