In celebration of Art for Art House: The Posters of Peter Strausfeld, Poster House will present a special mini film series on March 20. A celebrated classic of Japanese cinema, Kon Ichikawa’s An Actor’s Revenge (1963) follows a renowned kabuki performer as he seeks to avenge the deaths of his parents. This highly stylized film reflects some of the sophisticated dramatic intensity that characterizes Strausfeld’s posters. Its vivid colors, costumes, and performances make it the perfect movie to see before or after your visit to the exhibition—be sure to take a look at Strausfeld’s remarkable promotional poster for it while you are there.
And: stop by Café des Affiches for themed drinks and snacks to accompany the screening!
