Belladonna of Sadness

Japan, 1973
Director: Eiichi Yamamoto
Starring: Tatsuya Nakadai, Katsuyuki Ito, Aiko Nagayama

One of my favourite Japanese movie posters is this one for the 1973 animated film. The poster does justice to the amazing art in the film, and is printed using metallic inks. This poster was created for the 2003 re-release.
