Bulundi (1979)

Indian Film Poster
1979 (Made)
Artist/Maker

The central image is a male portrait gazing directly out of the poster with an anguished/ frightened look on his face. He has been 'painted-over' which enhances his expression and attention is drawn to his eyes. He is surrounded by smaller scenes of figures fighting, a crowd carrying banners and a burning house all of which indicate social unrest. The title runs across the bottom of the poster and the typography is in a three-dimensional style.
